Quite, there's no argument I can see that rec.skiing.resorts.europe
isn't working. Diluting it would make it weaker.


Not the point at all. If sufficient people want the group in uk.* and
the naming is sorted out it will happen. Dilution of
rec.skiing.resorts.europe isn't an issue for people concerned with the
uk.* hierarchy.

I do hope this doesn't become F1 revisited.


I've got 5 F1 groups I use on my server, each of them has different
characteristics to each other simply because of who posts to them. If the
skiing group split then I'd imagine the same would happen, presumably the
core posters would stay here and newcomers would chance their arm wherever
they land first.
