- No argument here. A possible refinement: would it be better to form
- a misc.helping-hand or soc.helping-hand, and use the distribution field
- to focus the coverage?
-
- I think that you also need to structure the requests so they can be
- browsed efficiently. This newsgroup will only be effective to the
- extent that it's used.
-
- Finally, perhaps subgroups, either by kind of need, or by .supply and
- .demand?
