It'll never fly.  There is hardly enough traffic in net.tv.soaps to
warrant a separate newsgroup for soaps at all, and there's certainly
not enough traffic for those 2 shows to justify creating separate
groups for them.  From what I've seen in net.news.group (where
creation of new groups is discussed), it takes a *minimum* of about
10-15 messages per week to justify a new group, and even then there
has to be a real good reason for it.
