- The last large discussion for a new UK group that I remember was for
- uk.telecom, and that was just a discussion which resulted in Ian Harding
- at UKC (or UKNet or GBNet or whatever it was back then) issuing the
- newgroup. I vaguely remember that he was also responsible for removing
- the UK york-box group as well.
-
- That's about all the procedure I remember.. :-)
