Recently, many new groups have been proposed: net.religion.jewish (just created) net.micro.hp41 and just now net.nutrition to name a few With the possible exception of net.religion.jewish, little or no prior discussion of the material suggested has been seen on the net. For example, why do we need a net.nutrition? Has there been a lot of discussion on nutrition lately? Please, a newsgroup should not be created just because someone might think the subject is neat. Look at net.bio -- look at all the ''positive responses'' it got; look at all the support it got; look at all four articles in it now... A newsgroup should be created when a need for it arises, not because someone has a pet subject he likes. Adam [Note - if you wish to discuss this, please do so in net.news.group. - MRH]
