Agreed. The tragic death of John Holmes was recently mentioned in
alt.sex. We need someplace where this sort of information can be
gathered without having to wade through the gibberish. However, I'm not
sure a newsgroup is quite the thing. How about a simple announcement
in news.lists or news.announce.important with followups to misc.whatever?
