Default Proposal For A New Rec.Aviation Newsgroup.

entity known as Brian Mailman, that requests spam to be sent to
and I became inspired,

We call such formations "NIMBY" groups, or "not in my backyard"
because it's someone wanting others to post in other groups.

Experience shows that NIMBY groups don't work, and netcopping to say
"now you have a group to post that in, go there" is frustrating to
say the least. The only way to get a NIMBY to work is to have the
people posting "offtopic" *want* to form their own group.


If there is sufficient offtopic it could justify a split towards a new
ontopic newsgroup.
So if soc.man is invaded with offtopic chitchat the ontopic posters
could unite, rationale and move towards soc.men.ontopic and if that's
invaded they could go towards soc.men.ontopic.ontopic
Who needs filters if the solution can be so simple.

f-up set


So, the creation of rec.aviation.piloting.on-topic is yet another
possibility. Thanks.
