I've nothing against people wanting to set up their own ng but
rec.skiing.resorts.europe pratically is a discussion group for UK skiers.


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.

It is if most of the prospective users of the proposed uk.* group are
already using the rec.* group, and prefer to stay where they are. They
would be perfectly entitled to vote no, if they choose.

I do hope this doesn't become F1 revisited.


Repeating the mantra that uk.* doesn't care about the rest of Usenet,
as if that was supposed to be a virtue, is one way of ensuring that it
will.
