Does anyone anywhere know of one single topic
that would be of (general) interest to the
ENTIRE Usenet community????   Aw, comm'on!!!!
(aside from 'end of the world' announcements
and troop movement6s, of course)

Why are all these tears being spilt over
the inevitable demise of net.general????

Newsgroups survive by being popular, interesting
and/or useful.   Net.general has outlived its
usefulness.   Go ahead, post what you like,
net.general belongs to those who read it.

I think I will unsubscribe, though.
It seems to me that people who think they can
possibly say something of interest to the
whole world, and who demand a clear channel just
for the occasion, are very vain.
