Many of the net gurus have had discussions about removing low
trafic groups. Mostly, they are justified, as it will prevent
people from starting up again.

This is one low traffic group that just justified itself.
net.suicide has a place -- it is a haven for that final "cry for
help". Through net.suicide, the net reflects its humanity and
helps those on it who need support.

In the case of "misc ramplings", we did that. If net.suicide
saves even only one life, isn't it worth it.
