   Not true. Please, do not try and scare people into thinking that
sci.med.nursing will no longer exist - it will. The only difference is
that it will have '*.misc' tagged on the end of it. It's the same group -
same messages, and same subscribers.

   The group is renamed - not removed. From your statement it appears that
sci.med.nursing is being replaced by one group for students amd another
for emergency nursing. And that's not true.

   I've said this before, and I'll explain it again. The RFD was created
to fully comply with the documents available ('How to Create a New
Newsgroup', etc..).
