too low to warrent a NATIONAL/WORLDWIDE group, yes... an Arizona group, no..
I think it would have just as much traffic as az.wanted, az.forsale, 
az.jobs... if the 'low volume' was a good reason, then we don't need 
those groups...

I think the group SHOULD be created and given a chance...

: I know that many of the activities of these and other clubs have been posted 
: in az.general in the past (by both myself and others) and the response has 
: been poor at best.

perhaps because people just don't look in the GENERAL category...

: Also, creation of az.sf.fandom is two additional levels of hierarchy... 
: az.sffan would probably be better.

this is a point well taken, az.sffan, az.scifi, az.sffandom would fit in 
better (personally, I favor az.scifi)

: I will; however, support creation of this group, should the majority of 
: discussion favor it.

ditto..
