REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION (RFD)
unmoderated group rec.outdoors.bassfishing.tournaments

This is a formal Request For Discussion (RFD) for the creation of the
unmoderated Usenet newsgroup, rec.outdoors.bassfishing.tournaments .


I went to news,groups and found a suggestion there by a Jim Riley to
combine the rofb and the newly proposed robt. If you have read the
proposal for the formation of robt you will see it's charter goes
against the charter of rofb.


Two points.

I'm clear from Jim Riley's post that he was simply proposing a name
change to the group from rec.outdoors.bassfishing.tournaments to
rec.outdoors.fishing.bass.tournaments, *not* including the traffic on
tournaments in that group.

I did not read it that way. To me it was two points, the name change
and a possible combination of the groups.



OTOH, can you be more explicit about why such discussions would be
off-topic in rec.outdoors.fishing.bass? From the group name alone I
would expect them to be on-topic.

They are not and would not be off topic in rofb but if you read both
charters you will see the topics in rofb would be off topic in robt.
You cannot guess a groups charter/FAQ by looking at the name alone.
You must read the charter/FAQ to understand the operation of the
group.

www.rofb.org for rofb charter/FAQ

robt charter basically states no discussions of tactics, personal
experiences, personal stories, equipment, new equipment, modifying
equipment, which do not relate to tourneys. ROFB was formed just for
all those topics and more. Pulling up both charters and comparing
them would help you understand better than I can describe it.

It would be like combining a classic car group with a nascar group
because they both are about cars or an amateur radio group with an
antique radio group because they both use radios or a salt water
fishing group and a Bass group because there are sea Bass and inland
Bass.

They really are dissimilar topics.

You should not combine a tournament only (bass) group with an open
discussion (bass) group.
