     I vote to keep net.general.  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.
