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.
