This group does have worldwide distribution, and it is (ostensibly) a forum
for TP afficinados (you can tell its a cult intellectual thing cause I used
"affinicados" instead of "fans" or "groupies"
).

Now, is someone willing to create something like alt.tv.twin-peaks.europe?
Or how about alt.tv.twin-peaks.hate-james
Or alt.tv.twin-peaks.hate-donna
Or how about just regard the first solution as perhaps the best.

It seems stupid to put them down just because they haven't seen the episodes
yet.
