I can see why people would want to post to this group (because they want/need
part of a posting, a package, etc.).  What I don't see is why anyone would
READ the group to answer the postings.  I'd be inclined to treat it as a
"just noise" group and ignore it; perhaps I'm just not as altruistic as
some others, or perhaps I don't really understand the intended content
of the group.
