You know, for as long as I can remember, people have lamented over
"ruined" newsgroups. Well boys and girls, newsgroups don't get ruined.
At any given point in time in every group there is a certain amount of
off-topic posting, more off-topic replying, sniping, bitching,
flaming, whining, ranting and the occasional complaint that yet
another newgroup has gone to ****.

Rest assured that this, like most other popular groups, will continue
to function just fine and at least one third of the discussion will be
useful and on-topic. As for the other two thirds, if you don't like
it, ignore it and quitcher cryin.
