Hardly.  Bloating the hierarchy implies creating more group names.
Not enough traffic implies not enough messages to justify the bloated
new group name.

I could see how someone might get confused by Woody's statement though.
He's always "foolin' 'em with his funny footprints."

Of the 8 person cast and crew of Fusion Patrol, all of them are already
members of at least 1 club previously mentioned. All but 1 are 
members of at least 2 or more of the clubs mentioned.  We're 
included by default.

And if the newsgroup gets created... we'll be there.  My concern is
apart from the 8 of us, Jim and yourself...  how many others will
be there?  another 8-10 people?

                   IS THAT REALLY WORTH IT?

Look who is discussing this in az.config?  I see 5 people with 
some interest in the concept and a couple more who are against
not only because they wish to avoid newsgroup bloat, but because
they aren't interested.

Morgan told me about this discussion, and I don't see him here.

Get some other people in here to discuss this!  Show me that there
are more people interested in this than I think there are.
