Yes, I'm reading it.  I think the idea of "politics.theory" sounds
like a good idea, and perhaps even "politics.world", but the idea of
a "politics.domestic" doesn't make sense to me -- if everybody on the
net posts stuff about their domestic politics to that group, it
is the same problem you're seeing now.

The way to filter out much of the cruft is have people start using
an up-to-date news, and restrict the distribution to the appropriate
locale.

I will create a net.politics.theory if I hear no significant objections
and a sufficient amount of support (mail, NOT posted news).
