- And they get newgrouped the next day. Groups that move never die --
- people still read alt.mud. It doesn't matter if *you* honor rmgroups;
- you're only one site and it doesn't stop traffic from being split. My
- suggestion to the alt.fan.rush-limbaugh people was to leave off the
- a.f.r-l.politics group and use the existing group for that, since some
- sites would alias them together and some wouldn't. No use risking a
- split in traffic of you can head it off at the pass.
