- I believe that the "voter apathy" had to do with the fact that these
- groups had nothing to do with Star Trek or Douglas Adams. :-)
-
- My only objection to seeing these groups is the exact same objection I
- had with them being in talk.*; that is, with cross-posting being so
- rampant in *.politics.*, that we don't need 39 more groups for
- everyone to cross-post everything to.
