I don't read net.followup, so I don't care what you do with that. If net.general were eliminated, the amount of junk in net.news.group would expand exponentially, because people with "new subjects" who now post to net.general would start demanding their own special groups. However, I would modify the software to disallow multiple newsgroups if one of the groups was net.general. If you have somewhere else to put it, don't put it in net.general. In fact, why not completely remove the ability to post to multiple groups? I(d like to let my yes be yes, and my no be no; it's a pain rejecting the same article four times. Doug Martin martin@nosc
