It would be ridiculous to create such specialized newsgroups.  According
to the statistics on my machine, there have been a *TOTAL* of 592
articles in this newsgroup in the just over a year that it has existed.

That works out to < 1.5 articles per day of which < 50 % were AMC related
articles.  You can't skip over 1 or 2 articles per day that you don't
care to read???  How do you ever get thru net.flame??
