...and pretty soon someone will want net.tv.dallas, net.tv.dynasty, etc.
If the AMC fans are the only ones posting to net.tv.soaps, then perhaps
they're the only ones really frantic about knowing what's going on.  I
don't think that anyone who wants to know something about another soap
would be discouraged from asking or posting.  Netnews readers and avid
soap fans are not usually among the shy people in the world.
