At the time I made that comment, there had been precisely two people
expressing interest.  That's virtually non-existant interest.

I guage interest for can.rec.naturist compared to interest shown for
previous groups _in_ can.*.  So the American/Canadian comment is bogus.

So far, even with the minor flurry after my posting, there hasn't been
nearly enough.

Don't waste your time and your support by diluting it with your "pre-RFD".  
Get your proposal lined up and propose it.

Negative/positive is irrelevant.  I'm here to make sure you've done your
homework and enough people are interested in the group to make it viable.

And the purpose of this question is?
