- This is a really stupid comment to make, since rec.arts.startrek was
- rmgrouped it wouldn't make any sense to direct cross-posted articles to
- it, now would it? Since rec.arts.startrek.reviews would provide an
- ADDITIONAL place to post reviews and rec.arts.startrek.current is not
- being rmgrouped I don't see the comparison.
-
- People seem to have a real problem adapting to the idea that some people
- want to read reviews and discuss them in a busy group like
- rec.arts.startrek.current and some people would prefer to read the reviews
- only in a low volume setting like rec.arts.startrek.reviews.
-
- I say, let them read that traffic in a low volume setting. As long as
- crossposting and followups are handled by a competent moderator the idea
- is functional.

- Yeah... whatever.
