- I don't like the idea simply because a live fellowship offers the sort
- of specific focus you're suggesting, and I like getting something
- different in this newsgroup: namely, the opportunity to identify with
- people whose specific struggles are different from mine.
-
- A newsgroup can't replace a live meeting but it can serve as an adjunct
- to one. I like the way this newsgroup works.
-
- The longer I'm in recovery, the more I can identify with people who are
- in fellowships I'm not.
-
- I've only been reading this newsgroup for about five months, and I
- believe the idea of splitting the group came up once since then. I
- suspect it comes up periodically--no doubt people who've read this
- newsgroup longer than I have will say--but I suppose there's room for a
- well-founded discussion of the issue.
-
- From what I can gather of net protocol, such a discussion properly takes
- place in news.groups. Someone will correct me if I am wrong.
