What do the die-hard Town folks (TonyK, etc.) think about offloading the Arctic traffic to a subgroup? Good thing, bad thing?

		Re: Todd, can we have an Arctic posting group?
I don't think specialized newsgroups for Arctic and the myriad of other subthemes would get enough traffic to be worthwhile. Better to keep it in lugnet.town, I think. -- Paul Davidson Todd Lehman <lehman@javanet.com> wrote in message (...) (24 years ago, 2-Jan-00, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.town)
