Perhaps "what's wrong with USENET today" is that some think that names are
the biggest issue on the net, and we spend our time discussing names,
renaming and renamings.

I am sorry folks, deciding what names to give to newsgroups just isn't
what USENET's about.  Oddly, reading news.* seems to give me the impression
that everybody who posts here thinks it is.
