I agree. I thought about it and it would be better to name the 
Croatian mailing list in English to bit.listserv.croatia and the one in 
Croatian to bit.listserv.hrvatska.

Currently there are 530 subscribers on CROATIAN-NEWS and 460 on 
HRVATSKI-VJESNIK. The potential subscriber base is much larger since 
many Croatians do not know about existence of these mailing lists but 
know how to access USENET. I feel that this would significantly improve 
coverage and access. The traffic is about 70-80 kB per day for both 
mailing lists.

The problem with posting to soc.culture.croatia is that this group is a 
primarily discussion group about culture of Croatia and currently it is 
mostly used by Serbian propagandist to spread their propaganda. That is 
the reason why a lot of people are not reading it. Mostly people just 
want current news from Croatia, not propaganda and nasty and rude messages.

Thanks for your reply, I hope this answers all your questions.
