- There is a relatively large readership that distinguishes strongly between
- fantasy and sf. I doubt that posters to rec.arts.sf.written want to see that
- group littered with the endless discussion of details that is found in
- alt.fan.eddings, and the fantasy-only readers won't want to sift through all
- the sf postings to get to their favorite author. I think everyone will be
- happier if there is a distinct group for fantasy writers.
