I think that's a *great* idea! I have no idea why so many people
are obsessed with the contents of my killfile - I am second only
to Tim Skirvin in this regard - but the topic certainly generates
enough traffic to justify a newsgroup dedicated to it.

We could discuss, for example, the fact that I am now using a
scoring-based killfile system with rudamentary Bayesian filtering
(See [http://www.paulgraham.com/better.html]). This scheme works
very well indeed, but alas it blurs the edges of the concepts
of "in the killfile" and "out of the killfile." With your proposed
newsgroup, posts of "I thought I was in your killfile" could be
refered to the newsgroup FAQ...
