Not that I think the Gang-of-5 idea is any great shakes, but I would like
to ask why I, SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR MAN for frog, am supposed to feel
disenfranchised?  After all, I have an ABSOLUTE veto over newsgroup creation
on frog, and ABSOLUTE authority to create new newsgroups at will, on frog.
Unlike most net.puritans, however, I feel that what OTHER consenting computers
do in the privacy of their own phone connections is their own business.
