Let's get rid of net.unix.  The signal to noise ratio is ~ 0:100.

Furthermore, let's get rid of all the non-work related topics:
net.sf-lovers, net.books, net.singles, net.cooks, net.startrek,
net.rec.nude...all that stuff. As someone aptly described the situation,
users shouldn't get the idea that the usenet is for their pleasure, it's for
work, and they should remember that their employers would explode if they found
out how much money and time was spent on discussing new coke.

I hope all those who've been posting articles about why other newsgroups should
be deleted because of their high noise or their lack of relevance will not
hesitate to jump on the bandwagon and post their requests to get rid of all
the net junk.
