C. Berkeley Computer Science Lines: 12 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.
