- It will be very tough to get through the rec.games.frp.* cabal. The
- mailing list has only been pulling 30+ messages a day for about a month and
- that will drop off during the holiday break.
- An Alt group that is pulling 30+ messages a day would swing more weight.
- The only real advantage of being under rec.games.frp.* is wider
- distribution. Rec is carried in more sites than alt groups.
- Alt.torg has been going along very happily. I haven't heard any noise
- about moving over to Rec.games.frp.*, but then I don't read alt.torg :-)

- These opinions are mine. No one else will admit to them.
- It was a typical net.exercise -- a screaming mob pounding on a greasy spot
- on the pavement, where used to lie the carcass of a dead horse.
