Message-ID: <2112@uw-june> Date: Sat, 5-Jan-85 05:21:48 EST Article-I.D.: uw-june.2112 Posted: Sat Jan 5 05:21:48 1985 Date-Received: Sat, 5-Jan-85 22:43:11 EST References: <306@ssc-vax.UUCP> Organization: U of Washington Computer Science Lines: 17 A posting to net.rec and net.news.adm asks for a group to talk about Pacific Northwest mountain hiking, etc. We've had a "seattle.general" set up for quite some time now with absolutely no traffic at all. (I don't think there are any Washington state Usenet sites outside of the Seattle area). I believe that we also set up a "pnw" distribution at the same time (but I don't remember if we managed to convince the Oregon sites to add it). Again, I've seen no use. Now, admittedly a group about these mountains could be of interest but is there any hard evidence whatsoever that the group actually fills a need (i.e., that people will use it). Incidentally, the proper place for this discussion is net.news.group. If you follow up, please remove net.rec and net.news.adm when doing so. --Rick
