	I feel that the difference between 'rec' & 'soc' is in this case
	very slight due to the nature of the questions and discussions
	and how they originate. ie. most discussions start out from
	things seen on British TV shows.

	I would point out that there does not seem to be much point in
	starting up a new group if a large number of the people who
	would be interested and who would participate are unable to
	do so because it is in a section that is not available to them.

	Maybe the new group should be an immediate sub-group of
	rec.arts.tv.uk such as 'rec.arts.tv.uk.culture'?

	Our link to the outside world has been down for nearly a week
	and so I have not seen any discussions prior to this :(

	I do hope we can get something agreed upon to take to a vote!
