However, before everyone else goes off at a tangent, the referenced
proposal [*] states that all the groups listed fulfill these conditions:

- no moderated groups
- no group names matching *.misc
- zero on-topic, non-crossposted threads in the past 18 months
- on-topic questions that received no on-topic answer do not count

So, if xinu is dead (and I last came across it well over 20 years ago),
then let the newsgroup die, too. If it's not dead then it seems that
according to the criteria stated above that the newsgroup is dead
already. Maybe it's time to let it lie in peace.
