Will, it's becomming increasingly evident to me that you might not be
thinking much beyond rec.tv.twin-peaks.  No, *that* newsgroup probably will
not break the camel's back.  However, if the rest of us had your attitude
regarding new group creation, there's little doubt that we will soon
be overrun with a deluge of new and trendy groups.
