You don't get to make comments, you idiot! Don't you get it? The proposed
group is about Amateur Radio...and they intend to keep you and your ilk out
of it. This ain't a Democracy, Mark.



Just what do you think the acronym "RFD" means? Just curious...


to be Honest I don't what it means in this case myself

which is amoug my objections to how this whole thing has been handled
we are all expectted to KNOW a bunch of rules and "regs for a process
at least I have never seen before

The rules concerning newsgroup creation are available on the web. Just
do a google search on newsgroup creation or I can post it if
necessary. The acronym "RFD" stands for "Request for Discussion." The
process is not unique to only the rec newsgroups...there are seven
others in the Big 8.

Well those "internet types" have co-opted the acronym.

Actually, I always wondered what "RFD" meant in reference to mail
delivery, and I don't think I saw an explanation until I saw someone
mention the meaning on the internet.
