Thanks for the proposal and your support! Nonetheless, I do not plan on continuing. I just wanted to discuss a possibility of rationalization, with an example of what could be done for news.* and talk.*. The discussion was pretty interesting anyway! But I had not the intention to go further and analyze everything in details to provide all the information I usually read in previous RfDs. It's great to do that in RfDs, I agree and congratulate the work, but unfortunately I do not have enough spare time to spend on that (I have already enough other activities on Usenet stuff). Besides, there are a lot of newsgroups in the Big-8, especially in comp.* and rec.*, so a per-group discussion would take ages and tremendous efforts, with the same arguments and counter-arguments always popping... Even with RfDs containing a list of 20 newsgroups for instance, I bet discussions will still challenge each group in the list, which is fine, but I am not personally interested in reading and responding, so I'll pass my turn. -- Julien ÉLIE « Sum, ergo bibo ; bibo, ergo sum. »
