- I am opposed. In fact, I would like to see a SINGLE r-l newsgroup.
-
- The argument I have is that when you split up related topics into separate
- groups, people wind up expanding their cross-posting and so we wind up with
- even more redundancy to wade through.
-
- For example, when John posts the transcript, there are quite a few responses to
- them. So, someone responding to his post would probably cross post it into one
- other (if not all) newsgroups. This will 'snowball' and I perceive that all
- that this would do is create a lot of redundancy.
-
- Also, Rush's TV shows have a lot of overlap to his radio shows, so again, there
- would be a bunch of cross-posting.
-
- I like the idea, and if it were a perfect net, it would be great. However, I do
- believe that all you would be doing is opening things up for mega-redundancy.
-
- Regards,
- Steve.
