Since there seems to be a consensus that net.unix-wizards is getting out of hand, and something should be done, I think this is a good time to look at this. Perhaps if folks would refrain from copying articles to net.unix.wizards when they are discussing bugs, micros, terminals, or subjects that can be posted elsewhere, there would be a noticable reduction in the amount of wizards traffic. Then, of course, the news software might eventually recognize related articles and make it possible to skip all articles on the same unwanted topic....
