Time to move space discussions to alt.politics?

I admit I haven't checked how much traffic there is on alt.politics, but
I'm guessing it has to be MUCH less than the off-topic political
discussions on the sci.space.* groups. May as well mess with everyone's
minds and ignore the entire naming scheme of Usenet. *sigh*

And what, may I ask, have you posted to this group that is ON TOPIC??

This has always been a pretty lame excuse for posting continual off
topic drivel.

Many, many people who could post on topic are driven away from a group
that's *continually* off-topic. This is a fact. People not speaking
up and saying that this isn't good enough is one of the reasons why
Usenet is FUBAR'ed.


Byeeeee.

Then people killfile the thread or the individual. There was/is a thread
about "Military service and the astronaut corps". It got to be LaTroll vs
just about everyone. I don't see that thread anymore. I also don't see
anything LaTroll posts for the same reason. Killfile is your friend.

Perhaps not. Sci.space.policy seems to have a low crank level (only
about 25%?) . Alt.politics probably has a far higher crank level,
making sensible discussion almost impossible.
