The rationale for a UK-specific group is that there are topics uniquely of interest to people in the UK. I think it would add a dimension to usenet rather than detract. Regards, Paul. — Paul McGuinness

To clarify – I personally have absolutely NO interest in advertising and much prefer there to be NO advertising in newsgroups. I was asking politely for guidance in writing the charter so I could get it right. >Also do you have to form your own little ‘club’ for nice UK boys, >can’t you just be normal and join the internet universal >population, is anyone stopping you talking UK topics here?!!

Enjoy the best of both? >Sounds fishy to me!!

My intentions are honest. >You should NOT be ADVERTISING spam services here!

I have NO intention of doing so. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – >|   > >|   >So isn’t just one Group enough for all to see?! >|   > >|   > >|   >| >|   >|   > Following on from my previous post I would like to get >|   >|   >opinions >|   >|   > on the creation of a newsgroup dedicated to camping uk.

Your reasoning does NOT make sense at all! Just to follow your reasoning from above – I have NO interest in drinking snake poison. But based on your approach, I should go around asking people politely for guidance if I should drink snake poison?! No one would do that! What ARE you saying?! | >Also do you have to form your own little ‘club’ for nice UK boys, | >can’t you just be normal and join the internet universal | >population, is anyone stopping you talking UK topics here?!! | > | | Enjoy the best of both? You want to enjoy the best of both what?! Own little ‘club’ and money spamming schemes too?! This is a smallish group anyway! Why even think about separating from this Group when you have benefited from it so far?! Or are you looking for a SALES target group?! Why keep giving us all this mysterious undercover talk?

>So isn’t just one Group enough for all to see?!

No!  Not everyone subscribes to every NG.  If Jayne hadn’t x posted, I would not have seen it!

Dearest Archie, You’ll note I did not try to promote our website, I simply mentioned it as it was on topic. I might also draw your attention to the fact that, once launched, the website will not be commerical. It provides information and tips. Not everyone is trying to make a fast buck from the Internet. Some of us are trying to provide help to others. – Daniel — ICQ: 120580758

Paul, I missed your original message, but I would fully support your idea. I’m actually part of a team who are about to launch a website providing information aimed at UK campers. There is definately an audience out there. There’s nothing wrong with this group, or the wonderful people who post here, but a UK specific group would probably be useful to a lot of people. I’m all for the idea. If I can help, please let me know. – Daniel posted: – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text ->Paul >I have crossposted your posting to rec.outdoors.camping, as there may be >interested parties there. >Jayne > Following on from my previous post I would like to get people’s opinions > on the creation of a newsgroup dedicated to camping uk.
