- You *could* post a Request For Discussion (RFD) to
- news.announce.newgroups (the whole group creation procdeure is described
- in one of the regular postings to news.announce.newusers, among other
- groups).
-
- But what I predict would happen is a large outcry of the nature of ``Fer
- crying out loud, rec.roller-coaster is one of the *smallest* newsgroups
- on the net! You can't justify splitting it! Bah!''
-
- And remember, you need 100 more yes than no votes *and* at least 2/3 yes
- in order for a group to pass.
-
- I don't think it would stand a chance.
