- This attitude really irks me. Groups *are* rmgroup'able in alt. Not
- all sites pay attention to rmgroups, but those who care about the
- ongoing viability of alt do. Let the other sites fill up with tons of
- garbage groups. Eventually those sites will have to deal with the
- problem when their software or hardware can no longer handle the load.
-
- rmgroups (not John Palmers :-) *are* honored at our site. So are
- rmgroups posted to alt.config. Of course, like newgroups, this depends
- on what is being rm'd.
