Good to see there's one - other than improving your reading
skills by browsing all those zillions of pointless censorship/biff/etc
flames. Therein is the main fallacy of this pseudo-democratic approach
to "running" USENET: those whose opinions we're intersted in hearing
don't waste their time with news.groups, either. Some of them maybe
*used* to read c.u.w., but I'm sure the reorganization, subsequent
flame wars, and the endless repetitive jargon file discussions have
probably taken care of that.
How do we start a call for discussion about pitching the whole
groups voting procedure, and returning to anarchy, letting each site
determine its propagation policy based on the law of the jungle?
mjr, aristocrat.
