	From alice!alb
	I received some mail today (in response to my recent posting of
	the newsgroup list) that said that there was a discussion some
	time ago that led to the concession of creaming net.mc and
	net.motorcycle and making net.cycle serve BOTH motorcycles and
	bicycles.  It seems silly to have two separate groups for these
	two things, what with sporadic activity and all.  Therefore,
	let me propose that net.cycle indeed serve both interests.

It is silly to combine two subjects just because they share a common
substring!  Why not combine discussion about automobiles and automation
in net.auto?  The group net.sw could be used for discussing both
software and Star Wars.  Net.sf-lovers can be used for those who left
their heart in San Francisco or for science fiction buffs.

I am a bicyclist and don't really care *anything* about what a
leather-clad Harley rider has to say.  When I first started reading the
news, I saw an article about motorcycles in net.cycle, and immediately
unsubscribed.  Combining these two groups will only stifle the
discussions of each, while the subject of separate groups will be
brought up later on a recurring basis.
