an extra few hundred is hardly going to mater, especially when of
the 53419 "Active" /cough/ groups here, I'd be betting 80% or
greater are inactive, and have for many years. 

 
I advocate for deleting them. I sometimes go through group lists
and see groups with interesting topics, but all empty. Not a good
user experience, so a cleanup is always a good idea. 

 
I certainly hope you're not baseing these inactive groups like you
did with the group Kev mentioned, you saw nothing, for 10 years you
said, we have posts all throughout, sorry Marco, I hardly think you
are in an appropriate position to call an RFD unless you use multiple
news servers (not all fed by same upstreams) to verify the real
status of the group, I know you're new to the big 8 team, so I hope
you take that as constructive advice.

I've checked the alias file for nomod entries and decided to create the
RfD to either fix that or propose the deletion.

As I don't have my own news server, I can't check the spool.
The discussion exists to find such cases and handle them properly. The
next RfD won't include rec.arts.movies.reviews.
I also tried to find older versions of the alias file, but I didn't
find them and the list owner didn't reply to me when I asked.

If there is somebody who can provide statistics, I would appreciate
that.
