- I assume that by "this forum" you mean rec.models.rc. The reason the traffic
- doesn't exist in that group is because it is in alt.models. This is a move to
- bring alt.models into the Usenet hierarchy.
-
- I suppose scale (i.e. small-scale static models) traffic could co-exist in
- rec.models.rc, just like rocket and model railroad traffic could. However the
- name of the group implies "radio control" i.e. remotely controlled functional
- models.
