- I am not sure which of the other groups you are posting from. Please edit the
- Newsgroups: line to reflect alt.models and the group you normally read...
-
- The reason for the separate group is that most (not all) of the readers are not
- interested in RC, railroading, or rocketry topics. Since the majority of
- traffic for each group would be on it's primary topic, it's less a matter of
- you skipping over our topics than us weeding through yours. Plus,
- rec.models.railroad is not at all a forum for reviewing the newest 1/48 scale
- models from Hasegawa. Since they don't fly, neither is rec.models.rc. And
- obviously rec.models.rockets in not appropriate.
-
- The reason this discussion was cross-posted to begin with was because there are
- people in those groups who are also interested in exact replication. Especially
- rec.models.railroad, but also in .rc and .rockets. But the proposal is there
- because this subject matter is not really within the sphere of those groups.
