Please, please, DON'T start another group. Especially a newsgroup, since my
access to newsgroups is severely limited (ever tried to follow a thread in
chronological order on AOL? even a delayed Digest is better than THAT).
There have been lots of business-related discussions on this list. Most of
us find them interesting and helpful. Start us off by bringing up a
particular issue you want to see discussed. Then duck <grin>.
