- I definately think there is a need for rec.travel.which.ATM.works
-
- Look we've had a little discussion and no real controversy but still
- don't know how many are interested.
- A mailing list would be a good idea - however, this requires a stable
- site with someone to maintain the list who is going to stay in one place
- for a while. Almost by definition type of people we would encourage in
- this group are too mobile for this role.
-
- Should we try for a proper RFD and move this to news.groups and
- see if we can get a some movement. Does anyone know what we have to do?
-
- The only problem I see about starting a group for the slightly more
- seasoned/budget traveller is that the people who want to know the best
- restaurant in [insert major city here] will crosspost to our group
- anyway seeing as the seasoned travellers are the ones who know.

- Ah, but sometimes they do say thank you. This is Usenet remember.
- Don't let it stop you posting useful information or sending people e-mail.
- Sometimes they _can't_ reply.
