is ca.unix worth importing?

I've heard from a few sources that ca.unix was created a while back to
combat the low signal to noise ratio of the usual unix groups. Thus,
ca.wizards could read their own newsgroup without sifting through all
the rubbish in comp.unix.wizards. However, this means that a large
number of users miss out on much educational and interesting
discussion between some of the real top people.
I for one would like to know if ca.unix is stuffed full of fascinating
insights on deep and meaningful bits of Unix. Could some of you
netpeople in California please let me know? If so, would it be
possible to distribute the best of it to us mortals? There could
either be a mailing list, or a summary posted to comp.unix.wizards
every so often. If this fails, I could always try to import it
specially.
I find the educational aspect of Usenet really useful in my attempt to
become a fluent speaker of Unix, and would like to investigate this
possible addition to the already huge flow of information.
