As we are discussing the validity and necessity of a new newsgroup, it might
be an idea to demonstrate our net.credentials on this subject *BY HOLDING
THE DISCUSSION IN THE CORRECT NEWSGROUP NEWS.GROUPS*.

If you read news.groups you will find that there is also a much more radical
proposal already being discussed (though spasmodically).

It is an unfortunate net.fact that this sort of discussion can easily
generate more traffic than the whole technical group's subject matter, thus,
please, all followups to news.groups (no, that does not mean crosspost to,
it means followup to).

BTW I do feel that a more radical restructuring *is* required.
