- I'm not sure if an American's opinion is valid for the creation of an
- aus group. I certainly wouldn't count it. Please note that I'm not
- a rec.railroad reader and I don't care whether aus.rail is created
- or not.

- With rec.motorcycles the newsgroup was filled with US-specific
- content. Furthermore the newsgroup was impossible to follow
- since it was huge. Aus.motorcycles lets me keep in contact with
- the local motorcycle community and has a much better signal/noise ratio.
- A much better service, I would say. Rec.rail may not have the same
- problems, of course.
