On a more serious note. If anyone is aware of comp.unix.wizards and their respective net.worlds, they have stated for quite sometime that they would like to get entirely rid of comp.other.worlds entirely for the sake of savings of groups of bandwidth & so everyone can "really" get things done. Usenet in itself in "original conception" was to be a place to extend everyone's unixsex abilitys. And, for quite sometime they argued back & fro about trying to ax all other non-pertenant newsgroups alltogether. Sort of a comp.apocalypse of sorts.
