You're missing a point, which is that a new newsgroup may attract traffic and readers that wouldn't ever be attracted to a more "general" group. eg suppose I have a question about San Diego Police Department radio frequencies. There is no sdnet.radio.scanner, nor anything similar, and I wouldn't expect much of a response in sdnet.general because there's nothing about the name sdnet.general to tell scanner enthusiasts that there might be something in it of interest to them. --- Jamie Hanrahan, Kernel Mode Systems, San Diego CA Internet: jeh@cmkrnl.com (JH645) Uucp: uunet!cmkrnl!jeh CompuServe: 74140,2055
