Thanks. Something I did not know. And it throws somewhat a damper on the
idea unfortunately. I have the means to put up a server with a webboard,
but I'm really not all that interested in doing so because I simply don't
have the time to adminster it and be a participant. I'm not giving up being
a participant! g
Perhaps we need to look at other alternatives. Got any ideas?

If that were true and the majority of users of this group are aware of
this thread, you will note that only a handful of people have taken an
interest. To get a rec.* group created, you have to have 100 more people
vote yes for it than vote no.
Are you telling me that, if you started this discussion in a new thread
today there wouldn't be far more participation in the discussion? I
would say that yes there would and the reason is because this thread has
become lost in the masses of traffic that this group receives each day.
Hence my point.
I just want to re establish my position on the matter. I'm not really a
regular on RAP. I lurk here on occasion but my main interest in RAP
siphoning off traffic into amh-s. I shouldn't be trying to impose my
ideas of what should happen to the group onto other people. I do think
that the creation of a subgroup for OT discussion would be a good idea.
I think that is reasonable that people might want to discuss general
issues with other members of RAP. I don't think that it should take
place in the main RAP group. If people would like to do this, I'd be
happy to help with advice; I can tell anyone who is interested what is
involved and where to get the information they need. I not willing to
head the project. I'd vote in favor of it.
