A new group would be a waste of space imo. Who administrates rsre? All it
needs is a less specific name, and you have a snowsports forum for
Europeans
and those interested in visiting Europe, and which is bound to have
mainly
UK contributors. So what's the difference, and more importantly, what's
the
point?

Why are you so arrogant as to say that RSRE, "a snowsports forum for
Europeans and those interested in visiting Europe" is "bound to have
mainly UK contributors"?


It's called observation and logic actually. Take a look at the forum
archives. An English language forum tends to attract English speakers, and
as other ski forums cater for those Anglophones that ski outside Europe...
do I really need to explain more?

Are there more skiers in the UK than in the rest of Europe?
Are we even in the top 5 skiing nations in Europe? [1]
Are we a "big name" in skiing?

Or are the rest of Europe usenet and computer illiterate?


[1] number of skier days per year

Irrelevant, on the whole, to the point being made.
