OK.  Meanwhile, I'll follow your etiquette in another manner:
net.tv.prisoner.  (A topic which is definitely not related to
net.tv.drwho, but nonetheless is discussed on that newsgroup,
while it deserves a place of its own)  I'm sure there will
be plenty of support for that, and there already has been
quite obvious readership for it.  Read the upcoming note
in net.news.group concerning it.
