Nope, but you must surely be aware that many netizens aren't savvy
enough to work around it. More importantly, regardless of what you
people who feel you 'own' the UK. heirarchy think, discussions about a
new uk. skiing newsgroup should, IMO, be held on the pre-existing
group you seem determined to sublimate.


The people who, as you put it, 'own' the uk.* hierarchy are the
people who care enough to take an interest. Life has a natural
division of effort, everybody gets to take part - those who bother
to turn up get to set the agenda, those who don't get to whine at
those who do.


I'm sorry, but I don't see what business anyone has trying to 'invent'
newsgroups for toipics in which they've expressed no interest
themselves. There's a difference between 'expressing an interest' and
'sticking your nose in'.

I suggest y'all listen to what the real interested parties, i.e. the
skiers and boarders who might be an active part of the proposed ng,
have to say on the matter, rather than just suggesting what you think
might be a good idea.

It then goes to a vote, the democratic
will of the community prevails,


all well and good, but it seems to me, particularly if discussions are
limited to unnc, that if it's the democratic will of a community who
have no specific interest in the group in question it's worth not a
gnat's ****.

Followup set to unnc


Why? Can't you stand the thought of outsiders who are only interested
in snowsports being involved in the discussion?
