This is a fallacy! You insulted all soc.culture newsgroups. Let me analyze your logic: there are a lot more American users than Arabic users on the net. There is soc.culture.arabic but no soc.culture. american. So soc.culture.arabic is a dumb, stupid and brain-damaged idea. There are a lot more Canadian than Turkish users, there is no soc.culture.canadian but there is soc.culture.turkish, so soc. culture.turkish is also a dumb, stupid and brain-damaged idea. This argument can be applied to all existing soc.culture groups. I also want to point out that because there are not so many ASEAN users, it will be wiser to set up a collective newsgroup than six individual newsgroups, one for each nation. -- Alex Hu for a liberal and unbiased news.groups
