    On the contrary, the users of the group are people who are 
    important!  You can't just create a group because you feel
    like without alienating your readers.  The fact that people
    in Europe/Aus/Japan WANT to read this group speaks very highly
    of the people that live in Seattle and post to seattle.*  It
    also makes the group MUCH more valuable to all who use it.

    Circulation is everything!

    Childish behaviour will cause group readers to seek other 
    groups with less noise that are more valuable to them.

     (Huff, Puff ... why do i even wast my breath :-(    )
