So no big deal, I am sure I miss many postings as at times I am just to 
busy to read news for a couple days.  Basically in my book you need to
have ample interest to creat a group, and if you start saying I want
to create group balt.xxx and nobody even cares enough to speak up, then
it's a dead issue.  If you want to create interest, then starting 
talking up the group in balt.general, and after this bring the discussion
to balt.config were the NetNews admins of the area should jump in.  
Being a BOFH at heart, I will not just create any group that appears 
out of the blue...

Jim, you don't read news hourly?  Shame on you, at least once a week I
perform a neural link to innd and monitor incoming news flow for at 
least an hour..  :-)

I have to admit I really like this one, and it makes a very good point..
