is ca.unix worth importing?

I've heard from a few sources that ca.unix was created a while back to
combat the low signal to noise ratio  of the usual  unix groups. Thus,
ca.wizards could read their own newsgroup  without sifting through all
the rubbish in  comp.unix.wizards. However, this  means  that  a large
number  of   users miss out  on   much   educational and   interesting
discussion between some of the real top people.

I for one would like to know if ca.unix is stuffed full of fascinating
insights on deep   and meaningful bits  of  Unix.  Could some  of  you
netpeople  in California  please  let me  know?   If so,  would it  be
possible to  distribute  the best of  it to us   mortals?  There could
either be a  mailing list,   or a summary posted to  comp.unix.wizards
every so often.  If this  fails, I  could  always   try  to import  it
specially.

I find the educational aspect of Usenet really useful in my attempt to
become a  fluent speaker of Unix,  and would like to investigate  this
possible addition to the already huge flow of information.
