Where I work, they eliminate newsgroups that have nothing to do
"directly" with work or with self-acutalization. I agree with you in
principle about a proposed new group, but as a practical matter, I'd
probably lose contact with the "non"-non-fiction postings. And I enjoy
reading about fiction as well as non-fiction writing. Since the traffic
on this group is far from overpowering, I would suggest there's room
enough for everybody, and folks can kill the articles in which they are
not interested. To me, this group is sort of like the funnies - I read
'em all!
