It should be remembered that certain groups are seasonal.  For example, 
net.sport.hockey is mainly active in the winter and early spring, especially
when the Stanley Cup races are heating up.  I am sure that there are other
newsgroups that exhibit similar behavior.  It pays to keep these groups;
if we eliminated net.sport.hockey, then come Stanley Cup time net.sport
would be flooded (well, maybe not flooded) with hockey articles, and non-
hockey fans would demand a net.sport.hockey so they wouldn't have to read
these messages.
