Here! Here! I've never understood why we needed this group in the first place,
I refused to newgroup it when I was on ontenv, somehow it slipped through the
cracks here. The argument runs something like this:

	We already have comp.org.usrgroup, and the ability to limit
	distrubution to can so we don't need it for /usr/group/cdn

	We already have ont.events for meeting announcements for UU and
	/usr/group/cdn so we don't need it for that.

	UU has a mailing list for their internal chatter so we don't need it
	for that.

	The traffic in {can,ont,tor}.general is low enough that if there is
	actually something to be discussed publicly about either of these
	organizations there's plenty of room for it. 

	So, what do we need can.usrgroup for?

OK, I'm about to 'rmgroup -d local can.usrgroup' anybody care to talk me out of
it?
