    One idea for solving this sort of problem would be to have a "trial period"
for newsgroups.  Each newsgroup created could be given 6 weeks to show how much
it has a need for existing before it would be nuked.  Eventually, once people
get used to the idea that newsgroups will be nuked for lack of signal/noise,
then perhaps we could see about justifying the existence of current newsgroups.
