I don't think this would work in practice.  Firstly, it would have to
be a moderated newsgroup.  If it weren't, the S/N ratio would go to
pot (see t.p.g).  If it were, who should take this job, playing
"extension unit" to our own august MODERATOR?

Secondly, if a thread diverges, it's invariably in the direction of
a law discussion.  We have a newsgroup for that, namely t.p.g. 
Granted, it's big and it's ugly, but it does the job.  Why complicate
things by inventing a new group with approximately the same mission?

Hopping over to t.p.g, reading the rest of the thread and returning
to r.g should not pose a problem.

First of all, I join the thanks to Jim.  Can't be said often enough.

Furthermore, I'm quite happy with his timing for rerouting a thread.
In most cases I was about to hit 'k' (the kill-subject key) myself
when I encountered the familiar "Let's take this..." notice.

Call me conservative, but I'm for letting it as it is.
