RFD: create unmoderated newsgroup uk.rec.skiing

Most of us don't care two hoots for hierarchy politics, and which letters of the alphabet prefix their ng, as long as it works. *ding* Give the man a coconut. If the rsre people stay where they are and don't move over, where's your problem? Or are you rather more concerned that a considerable number *will* move over? If so, then, presumably, they do so for a reason and rsre is not for them and the new urs will be. The only negative thing that I can see is that urs dies on its feet and, in due course (as has been said already) Dr Death comes a'calling but that's always a truth regardless of whatever ng is being created. The end result will be exactly what Usenet users, wherever they are in the world, getting what they (the majority of course) want. Dilution threatens both groups in this case (minority, seasonal sport, limited UK interest), as has been pointed out on numerous occasions. The more likely scenario is the demise of urs, but that is not a satisfactory justification for administrators, who so far have expressed little interest whatsoever in the sport itself, playing experimental games while the actual users are directly affected. I've yet to see a single reason put forward by the proponent or other supporters from unnc that is practical rather than 'philosophical', and not blatant promotion of the uk. hierarchy for reasons which make no sense whatsoever to we Brits and other Anglophones who just want to get on with discussing skiing in Europe.
