  If the volume really warrented it.  As I remember this seattle.admin
  group just barely passed even after I tvery loosely interpeted
  the Network voting guidelines.  Strict interp of the rules
  would have indicated this group should never have existed.

  I've started a little experiment that will show just how much
  circulation of seattle.general depends on stephsf.com.  I have
  been forwarding seattle.general to uunet.uu.net for about three
  years.  This has now been discontinued.  The volume may  drop
  off substantially at least to sites connected to soundex com.
