Hi ...

Usually I support new boards, almost as a variant of free speech.
If N people want to have a special topoical forum, why not open one up?
In this case, I am asking a different question, primarily because the
"parent board" comp.society is so inactive.

I wonder why a special board is needed for comp.society.development. These is
(unfortunately) so little  discussion on comp.society that I'd think that
issues of computing in developed countres would actually give
the board a little needed life! There is a  comp.society.women which is usually
empty here and comp.society posts about 5 messages  a week. In my view,
comp.society needs a transfusion, not further dispersion.
