It seems to me that at least a week ago, jj@alice posted a summary of the
mail that he received about deleting net.flame.  I don't remember the exact
numbers, but I believe that the vote was approximately 100-3 in favor of
deletion, with 8 people responding with obscenities.  So when is net.flame
going to die!?  (Or is it going to die?)

I'll agree that reforming net.sources.* is important, but even with all its
problems, net.sources.* is a still useful source of information.  Net.flame
is almost as big with absolutely NO redeeming value.  So let's delete it
already!
