Response to my request for mail replies regarding my original suggestion
for a net.puzzle have not exactly been overflowing.  It seems that
the results are running about half-and-half -- half say an unqualified
'yes', the others say that puzzles should go into their different
special-interest groups.  In other words, statistical and mathematical
puzzles in net.math, word puzzles in net.nlang, etc.

I have a fair-sized repertoire of puzzles, however, and most of them are
logic puzzles .... there ain't no net.logic group.  So, although I can
see the viewpoint of the 'con' people, I still think that net.puzzle
would be a worthwhile and well-trafficked group.  I, for one, like
mathematical puzzles but have absolutely no interest in reading
net.math; I like word puzzles but don't have the time to read net.nlang;
and I like logic puzzles but don't want to put them in net.misc!!!!
