RATIONALE
It has long been custom within uk.* to check for groups that are not
being used and then to remove them. By doing this we keep the number of
dead groups down increasing the chances that someone stumbling across a
group will find it useful.
An analysis of the posts to uk.media.films.carry-on from 2009-07-01 to
2009-12-31 has shown that there there was 1 post in that period,
details of which are shown below.
Is this group being used?
