[net.news.group] hello?

As I suspected (and feared), the Dr. Who fans out there got so busy
discussing the concept of a Dr. Who topic they forget all about Dr. Who. I
haven't seen a SINGLE message on net.tv.drwho so far. In comparison,
net.games.go, which was created at about the same time, is building up a
nice volume. Since I created net.tv.drwho with the proviso that it might go
away if it weren't used, consider this your final warning. Use it or lose
it, fellows of the tardis...

(This might be useful as an example for future reference... There was so
much volume about the newsgroup that it killed both the volume for the
newgroup and everything else. Now that that furor has died down, it becomes
rather clear that Dr. Who, for all its fans, really belongs in sf-lovers,
simply because there isn't THAT much volume, and what there is is cyclical.
Please keep that in mind next time you want a new newsgroup!!!!!)
