How about floating the idea on rec.juggling as well. They still get
unicycling related threads despite this mailing list and they would be a
relevant group to consult/ try to get on our side. Oh yeah, this assumes that
like me you think a newsgroup would be a good idea. If we are to get as far as
a vote we will need to clearly state our reasons for wanting a newsgroup.
Obviously, propogation is one such issue but what else can we come up with?
I think we are getting enough discussion now to justify a newsgroup. I hope
others agree.
