Merely a suggestion. I'd be quite happy to see these groups shut down and
everything moved up to the state/territory subgroups under loc.au. I just
don't think we have the volume of traffic nor the demographic spread to
justify anything more.

Yeah I can see the logic in it all, it's just that a little flexibility
wouldn't go astray. I shake my head in wonder everytime I see a thread
containing dozens of posts rebuking a person for posting in the wrong place,
wasting more bandwidth by jumping on their cybersoapbox than the initial post
could ever take up. Some people just can't help themselves. From time to time
I sense a certain amount of bigotry and patronising within this community.
<sigh> Sometimes I feel I just don't belong here...
