  Sorry; I don't consider this to be a valid reason.  seattle.* 
exists to serve the greater seattle and washington state area;
that other folks are interested in watching what goes on doesn't
enter into the picture.  If a new group or new split of an existing
group makes sense for the seattle or washington state area we should
do it.  The fact that folks in europe are getting the group doesn't
(shouldn't) make any difference at all.
