- I may be demonstrating my naivete here (I have no experience with
- creation of new groups), but I at least would support a r.g.f.amber
- group, considering the circumstances you've outlined above. 30 messages
- per day is pretty impressive.
-
- Considering that the distribution of alt groups isn't as wide, perhaps
- you'd prefer something in the rec.games.frp.* hierarchy? Hey, you
- can't succeed unless you try.
