- | Yes, leave it alone. Trying to 'reorganize' alt will simply double the number

- I feel reasonably confident that if the major news sites like uunet
- join the alt.cabal, and enough smaller sites like ours follow on, that
- the wars will stop because no one will be paying attention to the
- raving.
-
- I think this was long overdue, since my main objection to alt groups
- is the naming rather than the content.
