I think this is a fantastic idea. I have only been reading the net for a
relatively short period of time, but it is my impression that Floyd has one of
the biggest followings on alt.r&r. Also, I have noticed quite a few comments
complaining about "all these Pink Floyd discussions". This certainly seems like
enough justification for giving us a newsgroup by ourselves. Alt.r&r always has
a lot of traffic on it, and this would make a good supplement, as well as
allowing the many die-hard Floyd fans in netland the opportunity to voice their
opinions about Floyd, without getting the many complaints from a general forum
(at least not as many). Let's do it.
