- I don't like the idea. There is very little traffic on rec.boats.paddle,
- barely enough to justify a newsgroup if you ask me. If we further split,
- then traffic will be even less. If you really don't want to see crew stuff,
- then we'll just ask the rowers to put the word 'ROWING' in their subject
- line, and the snobs can kill/autoselect (depending on whether they are kayak
- or rowing snobs) on that keyword.

- This worked ok in rec.birds for a while - those who kept birds in captivity
- put 'INDOOR' in thier subject lines, or got flamed by people who don't jail
- birds.
