The solution is for the notesfile and readnews maintainers (or some
random hackers) to add "automatic deletion" of unused newsgroups to
their software and see that it gets distributed.  Then we would have no
need to argue about potential Usenet dictators. A three-month
timeout on newsgroup life seems reasonable.
