These discussions usually originate from a question about a TV program anyway, so such discussions will probably continue to be started in rec.arts.tv.uk even if another group exists. Just because many locations (mine included) do not receive the soc.* groups, this is not a good reason to choose an inappropriate name for a proposed new group. The group that is being proposed should be named something like soc.culture.uk: it clearly belongs in the soc.* groups. For these two reasons, I do not think rec.arts.uk.misc is a good idea. By the way, I am a Brit (despite the Florida address). -- Nigel Gamble "Everything should be made MODCOMP an AEG company as simple as possible, but 1650 W McNab Rd, Ft Lauderdale, FL 33340-6099 not simpler."
