Of course!  It's a little known secret that alt.* has the highest S/N on the
net.  I'd like to keep it that way.  The flames over the alt.birthright pro-
posal are proof that a lot of alt.people feel that way too, and DO NOT want
to see alt.* become a dumping ground for ANY old nonsense.

Since there *is* so much social and political stuff running in comp.*, from
particular newsgroups like comp.{risks,org.usenix} to the endless commentar-
ies and flames about particular companies and shareware and so on all over
the comp.* map, all the arguments that this one more newsgroup was violat-
ing some unwritten "technical! technical!" requirement were horseshit.
