Thank you, my thoughts exactly.

Not trying to rain on your parade, but I'd say sticking with an
established Usenet group was a better way to get discussions going
than starting a new and perhaps too specialised non-Usenet one which
not may people would know about. Most people, too, probably limit the
number of separate groups they read -- I know I couldn't handle any
more than my regular two plus a few occasionals.

I understand what you're saying. But, rec.ponds is all but unuseable. Just
tonight, a new poster 'looked' and said he'd come back when the trouble
subsided......which it won't.


My theory about rec.ponds, if that's the wrecked group you meant, was
that its user base was too small to swamp the trolls, and that was
because it was too specialised.

I would disagree with 'specialised' I have a garden with a pond, I'm not a
Koi person who spends thousands of pounds on their setup. It is for people
like me, and I susoect several others here, that I want this forum created.

snipped

I also understand there is a limit to how many posting places one person can
cope with.....!!! lol
Thanks for your reply
