If it is to discuss the Spanish language and you can show sufficient interest, fine. But not to discuss cuisine (net.cooks), travel (net.travel), etc. etc. Some large portion (?1/5?) of the world's people speak Spanish; all areas of interest involving them is MUCH too large for one newsgroup; and all we'll get out of it is massive cross-postings to existing groups. Where do you post a recipe for guacamole? You post it to net.nlang.spanish AND to net.cooks, of course. net.nlang.spanish ONLY for Spanish language and ONLY if sufficient interest, please!! -- The MAD Programmer -- 919-228-3313 (Cornet 291) alias: Curtis Jackson ...![ ihnp4 ulysses cbosgd mgnetp ]!burl!rcj ...![ ihnp4 cbosgd akgua masscomp ]!clyde!rcj
