A few days ago, I half-jokingly proposed 'net.auto.sport' to
take the discussion of the more fun aspects of motoring into
another group.  I think that net.auto.sport is a good name for
the group, rather than net.rec.sport (which is more than a little
ambiguous), or even net.rec.auto or net.sport.auto.  net.auto.sport
is a logical name, as it envisioned as a subset of all possible
net.auto topics.  The response so far has been suprisingly vocal 
(in favor) and large (9 responses), considering I only casually 
mentioned the new group in response to someone else's proposal 
for a BMW news group.  

The charter of this new group would be to provide a forum for 
the discussion of sports cars, exotic cars racing, rallying, 
etc., including, perhaps, high-tech news from around the globe
(but not a high-tech fix for a cracked exhaust).  Also, discussions
about traffic laws, car ads, problems, etc. should remain in
net.auto.  I myself subscribe to several automotive periodicals,
including as AutoWeek and Road & Track, both of which provide excellent
source material for new car info, etc.

Well troops, lets hear from you.  I will post the results of this
survey in a couple of weeks, both here and in net.newsgroup.
