I have received votes from 15 sites, with 14/15 supporting the
rmgrouping of net.flame.  A significant percentage of those 14 are no
longer passing net.flame.

I see from Rick Adams' message that a significant percentage of the
backbone is not going to carry net.flame anymore.  Well, it looks like a
major reduction in, if not the removal of, net.flame.

I just have one suggestion, that no rmgroups be issued on net.flame
until a week or so after most machines no longer decide to carry it.  If
the volume drops to a tolerable level, either the remaining sites that
pass it can set up alternate feeds or make local distributions.
