*** Would there be any interest in a new newsgroup devoted to scouting? - viz. net.scouts. If there are scouters at your site please ask them to respond (that is if they're interested). Although I posted this to more than one group I would suggest that the place to respond would be net.news.group or send me mail - I hope to be inundated. Jim Easton (..alberta!jim)

Rather than suggesting a new group, why not suggest a place to post?
That is, try posting some articles on scouting somewhere and see
what kind of response you get. My first suggestion would be to
post some articles to "net.kids".
If you only get one or two people posting articles, exchange mail
with each other. If you get 10-30 people involved, start a mailing list.
If you generate lots and lots of articles, then is the time to
suggest a new newsgroup.

I suggest that you first use net.rec, and see if there is really enough interest to justify a new newsgroup. If there is, then we could consider creating net.rec.scouts --Greg -- {ucbvax!hplabs | allegra!nbires | decvax!noao | harpo!seismo | ihnp4!noao} !hao!woods CSNET: woods@NCAR ARPA: woods%ncar@CSNET-RELAY "Comes a time, when a blind man takes your hand, says don't you see..."

One of those articles is the list of known Usenet-associated mailing lists and who to write to for more information. Chuq von Rospach was maintaining that list up to the first of this month, and I will be maintaining it from here on along with the other regular postings to "newusers". For established users, that list is also posted to "mod.newslists". -- Gene "4 months and counting" Spafford The Clouds Project, School of ICS, Georgia Tech, Atlanta GA 30332 CSNet: Spaf @ GATech ARPA: Spaf%GATech.CSNet @ CSNet-Relay.ARPA uucp: ...!{akgua,allegra,hplabs,ihnp4,linus,seismo,ulysses}!gatech!spaf
