[net.games.frp] net.games.frp.chronicles

I'd like to toss in my own comments about starting a
subgroup for campaign chronicles.  
(yes, net.games.frp.chronicles is probably too long, how about
net.games.frp.chron?)  

While it will make entertaining reading, and undoubtedly be
of interest to net people, I really fear political problems.
It will undoubtedly have a high bandwidth, and start to
eat up a lot of storage, unless it gets expired once a week,
or so. <instead of two weeks, which I understand is the current
default in most cases>

I think, that before we add yet another news group, we should
consider what it will do to the out-of-control cost of netnews.

Would some net.news.group people with experience please join in
the discussion?  <And post it to both groups>

If it is created, I think it should be <oh NO!> two groups,
one for S-F RPG's and one for F&S RPG's.  Why?  I don't
like Traveler very much, and I'll bet that a lot of people
feel the same way about D&D *  <is a trademark of TSR hobbies>
type games.

Comments of substance to net, comments about newsgroup formation
to the person who made the proposal. <NOT ME, PLEASE!>

I don't think that there will be much of a problem. How amny people do you
think are going to spend the time to type in their adventures? Not many,
I think. And it is hard to say that it is any less useful than a lot of 
other things on this net -- like net.tv or net.sf-lovers, for instance.

I wouldn't worry about it.
