[news.groups] rec.arts.uk.misc

The point has been made in rec.arts.tv.uk (by me) that rec is *not* the
appropriate hierarchy for this group, especially if it is only for better
distribution. I do think, however, that a group of this sort would be good,
perhaps soc.culture.uk? The recent discussions in r.a.t.uk back this up
[e.g. food, language, coins, and the current one on schools]. I suspect
the 2 groups will have many subscribers in common, but little crossposting.
Or, of course, we could create alt.soc.culture.uk. :-) :-) :-)

	******* OK already!! :)  **********

	I get the picture!

	I was at a bit of a loss in the discussions, because of the fact
	that our site lost it's UUCP link about two days after my original
	posting, and was down until yesterday :(

	Thanks to all contributors and esp. to Ray Dunn for mailing me copies
	of all the postings I missed.

	I would agree that we should look at a new group 'soc.culture.british'
	and would be pleased to initiate the call for discussion in the new
	year, or to support one from someone else.

	I think there should be enough interest to get this group started
	and to get some lively, and interesting stuff going.

	DISCLAIMER:
	The above most definitely may be my opinion, but you can be
	sure that it also could be yours if you would like it to be.
	If you find it is yours, you can be sure that I agree with 
	you and that, in my opinion, you too have good taste and
	are obviously right just as I am.
