- There is a current proposal to create a single moderated
- physics group, independent of sci.physics. That is what we are,
- or should be, discussing.
-
- Feel free to use the well-established procedures for creating/modifying
- newsgroups to propose new groups/modify old groups for any other
- purpose. Once again, I don't think that there will be great interest
- in such a detailed partitioning at this time. This would be a rather
- onerous task for any moderators in any case.
