Default RFD: create unmoderated newsgroup uk.rec.skiing

The traffic issues will sort themselves though, one way or another.


Yes.

Seems to me that the majority of posters here are from the UK originally
even if they don't still live here.


Yes, and I think the number of UK-resident users here is probably more
than we think. This group has that very knowledgeable hard core of
posters who live near the skiing, so it's natural for the rest of us to
sit back and let them tell it.
A group limited to UK-resident skiers would risk sharing everyone's
ignorance!


You miss the fact that many uk.* groups have contributors from far
afield.

uk.* groups are not limited to people living in the UK.

Now, what were you saying about ignorance?

If it's the Continent you've got experts here (there's always a
Scandinavian around when you need one, too.)


So? Maybe people want a uk.* group, your group isn't *that* active [1]
and the uk.* one might attract more people to the sports, best to join
in if it happens surely?

[1] that appears to be the fear factor in rsre

If people want technique threads I'm sure they'll start them - they're
like bumps, they don't spring up until people start skiing.


Nothing to do with whether or not uk.rec.[something to do with snow]
gets created.

Next!
