  23. I agree absolutely.  That's why I suggested, several posts back,
  24. that a rec.games.war would better suit my particular interests than
  25. having to monitor both rec.games.board and the proposed new
  26. miniatures group and to filter out the frp stuff from both.  However,
  27. that suggestion seems to have met with little support.
