It's not repression or censorship any more than it is repression or censorship
not to include rec.toys.lego on the homepage. Not including the .off-topic

included. It only seems like exclusion because the number of groups shown is
much larger than the number of groups not shown, and because it's easier to
express mathematically and in words as exclusion rather than inclusion.

overall appeal.
