rec.outdoors.fishing.tournaments

I have submitted a Request For Discussion (RFD) concerning the starting of a
newsgroup specifically designed for tournament fishing.

The discussion is going on now in: news.groups

Over the last few years I have found other fishing newsgroups to be
inundated with posts from people who have developed a new bait, want to talk
about that 2lb. bass they caught in their yard after the flood, or are
otherwise advertising something. It has become nearly impossible to find
worthwhile tournament info in any of the current newsgroups. As a matter of
fact I only propsed this after talking with several users who used to post
to rec.outdoors.fishing.bass and now find sifting through spam and off topic
posts to be too tedious.

My proposal is to create a newsgroup titled:
rec.outdoors.fishing.tournaments

This would include ALL forms of fresh and sal****er tournament fishing,
fishing methods specific to tournaments, rankings and statistics of
paticipants and description and discussion about tournament trails.
International, national, regional and local information and discussions are
acceptable.

If you have an opinion, pro or con, concerning the establishment of this new
newsgroup please go to: news.groups and voice your thoughts.

Thank You,
