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). -- Gene "7 months and counting" Spafford The Clouds Project, School of ICS, Georgia Tech, Atlanta GA 30332 CSNet: Spaf @ GATech ARPA: Spaf%GATech.CSNet @ CSNet-Relay.ARPA uucp: ...!{akgua,allegra,hplabs,ihnp4,linus,seismo,ulysses}!gatech!spaf
