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. snip 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? x-post reset |
