Off newsgroup proliferation and moderation.

I don't see any reason to moderate the unix-pc newsgroups.  The volume
is pretty low, and except for this very discussion, the pointless
meta-discussions have been infrequent.

There has been very little clutter in .sources, and I don't see any
reason to change.  My archive of Jan-Jun is only 545K (compressed),
compared to 607K in alt.sources, 1303 in comp.sources.misc and 4334 of
comp.sources.unix.  Curiously the slowest moderated group has the
biggest volume.  Having suffered a 3 month delay posting something to
source.unix, I have a disinclination to start another tar pit.

It would be good to create a .bugs group to tidy .general some.  I may
just do that in a few days unless there are some strong objections.
