Quoted message said:The number of GPS threads on uk.rec.walking has increased to the point
where some have complained.How about a new newsgroup uk.rec.gps? To cover all recreational uses of
GPS, walking, sailing, car navigation, geocaching.Checking google groups, I find that in uk.* newsgroups there have been 930
threads mentioning GPS this year, so it would be a medium traffic group
from the start.I have crossposted to those UK groups where I have found a number of
threads mentioning GPS
uk.rec.walking, uk.rec.climbing, uk.rec.sailing, uk.sci.astronomy
uk.telecom.mobile, uk.rec.fishing.sea, uk.rec.cycling, uk.rec.audio.car
uk.rec.cars.modifications, uk.rec.cars.maintenance, uk.telecom.mobile
uk.rec.waterways, uk.rec.scuba, uk.rec.motorcaravans, uk.rec.caravanning
in four groups because news.individual.net only allows a small number of
crossposts.<follow up set to uk.rec.walking>
which has the greatest number of GPS posts
Sounds like a good idea to me Dave. Looking at the uk.* hierarchy I can't
see any problem with the name, the volume of existing GPS posts warrants it,
I'm sure that you'd get enough people from the various groups to support it
and I hope it would Fast Track.
Go for it - I'll certainly add my voice in support if you raise an RFD
