Don't like the idea, sorry. We can all use this Ng and learn from each

Agreed 100%

uk.rec.gardening is no longer a busy newsgroup. Why complicate things by
making it even less busy by setting up another group ? There are already
quite a few dead UK newsgroups - lets not add another two :-(

URG is not the busiest NG right now, because it's seasonal. I haven't
checked out statistics, but I think they would show an increase over the
last week or two. And the pace always picks up as the growing season
commences and the newbies start wondering which end of the spade to use.
Football NGs are very busy right now, but F1 NGs are not, all for the same
reason.

Having said that, I supported the setting up of the allotments group a
couple of years ago, and I said then that "if the noes have it, I shan't
whine". They did, and I haven't. With the benefit of the intervening time,
this time round I shall be one of the noes.
