Hehehehehehe.... 


On a more serious note. If anyone is aware of comp.unix.wizards and their
respective net.worlds, they have stated for quite sometime that they would
like to get entirely rid of comp.other.worlds entirely for the sake of
savings of groups of bandwidth & so everyone can "really" get things done.
Usenet in itself in "original conception" was to be a place to extend 
everyone's unixsex abilitys. And, for quite sometime they argued back & fro
about trying to ax all other non-pertenant newsgroups alltogether. Sort of
a comp.apocalypse of sorts. (hehehe).
