so the best
you hope for is take traffic out RSRE which does reduce it and for
what?


Maybe people in the uk would prefer a group of their own? We'll see.
The "taking of traffic" from "your" group is a non-issue. My best
advice is if the people move follow them -- but we haven't got there
yet.


What you miss here is that there's a very real possibility of diluting
the value of both groups by inducing such a split. In reality, I
suspect that many, if not most, discussions would be x-posted anyway,
but that would surely not be the best way to proceed.

Now, if we could just put a newsgroup alias in place, so uk folks
think they're posting to a uk group but in reality are on RSRE then I
think we'd have the perfect solution.
