Lordy, you can set your clocks by how often this idea recurrs. :)

I think the last time this was discussed to death, the consensus was that
between the (relatively) low volume in pnw.general and the ease with which
a kill file can be put to use to screen out certain subjects (and posters),
any pnw.get-the-silly-arguing-people-out-of-pnw-general group was, in the 
main, a Bad Idea.

Other's recollections and opinions of this are likely to differ, of course.
We are talking about the net, after all.
