Suggestions like this come up fairly often, but perhaps it's
time to discuss one again.  Note that followups are directed
to seattle.admin.

Creating a seattle.misc newsgroup would have a beneficial 
effect on the overall seattle.* hierarchy.  The charter 
might be something like, "Anything of interest to one or 
more people in or interested in Seattle."  (Only one person 
need be interested in the topic, though only a few of us 
could keep up such one-sided "discussions" for long.  ;-)

Some might say, "Isn't that what seattle.general is used for?"
Yes, but if seattle.misc existed, the content of seattle.general
might focus just a bit more on topics of "general" interest to
the Seattle community....  Crossposts would be fine, especially
if the followups were directed to seattle.misc.  Personally, I
would put seattle.misc to use quite regularly.

Comments, anyone?
