Hey Andrew, why not just post to the relevant group? like aus.org.scouting? Not having a go at you, but it doesn't seem very relevant to the USA and UK. Jon Teh

Jon the reason i post to an array of groups is because scouts from all over the world are interested in seeing what scouts in other parts of the world are doing. So yes i beleive it is relevent to post items like this to international newsgroups.

This is only one scouters opinion, but I enjoy seeing what scouts from many parts of the world are doing. Interesting site, by the way.

Interesting site, by the way. So do several of us no doubt but if every Scout Group, District, Area, County etc. with a web site started cross posting to every Scouting news group we would all be inundated with adverts. The best thing is to join a web ring and those who are interested in seeing what is happening elsewhere can follow the links through that or via the web site links. I am not suggesting that we shouldn't take an interest in the World of Scouting but the impact of everyone cross posting adverts would not be contributing much to the general discussion. Apart from that if you really must advertise then add it to your signature and you can post an on topic contribution whilst advertising the web site at the same time! -- Paul Harris Essex Scouts Web Team http://www.essexscouts.org.uk

We've wasted 100 times the bandwidth bitching about a simple 8 line message when all we really had to do was read it, say "that's nice", and go on. Anal Retentive? I'd say so.

I'd say so. Thank you for your constructive contribution. I felt that it was worth explaining the rationale so that it was clear why it was better not to post adverts, perhaps you didn't need it explained. Everyone else may have guessed why it is for the best but some may have liked to have it explained. -- Paul Harris Essex Scouts Web Team http://www.essexscouts.org.uk

Interesting site, by the way. It's not just "one scouters opinion" as you put it. It is general netiquitte, which there are many guides to on the web. Otherwise there is no point having seperate newsgroups for different countries. You may aswell have "rec.scouting.everything" for everyone to use. I'd suggest that a web ring or some such like someone else suggested is the best way to introduce the site to international people. Also make sure it is listed on the Scouts Australia links page, which will further help people be aware of it. Jon Teh
