wrote: "Ali Hopkins" wrote in message ... "PG" wrote in message ... More sound and reasoned argument for the setting up of a ng from the allegedly knowledgeable at unnc. If you'd avoid the ad hominem posts, you might get a better reaction. Given that unnc members have contributed the vast majority so far, that's pretty rich. I have attacked no-one. Nor do I intend to start. I have stated my voting intention. Nor did I suggest you had. I would be interested to know just what motive you have for voting in favour, other than doing so because of a comment from a rsre contributor about uncc members, given that we effectively have: Identical target source of membership for both English-language groups, Identical aims (in practice), Identical potential discussion topics. Do you ski? Have you ever contributed to a skiing forum? Have you analysed the rsre archives to check the likes of the above information? Have you checked the traffic levels for rsre, during and inter-season? Or are you simply voting because, as you say, someone's "remark ensures a few yes votes. Including mine." If so, don't take this personally, but that's pretty flimsy argumentation.

I tend to hope that people will base their vote on impartial weighing up of evidence presented, but given your ad hominem comments above, perhaps that is not the case. Pete |

Well on that note of hope, I'm going skiing. (If you want any updates on the conditions at Tignes this afternoon, check in with rsre later ;o) Pete |

It is doubtful whether there will be enough traffic to keep two groups active, and it is possible that spreading it across two groups will lead to both becoming unused. Can I just say that I think that is absolute crap. What if there is only enough traffic for one group? We'll all want to post somewhere - sooner or later it'll sort itself out.
