It's plainly obvious that this newsgroup has become almost useless as a
boating forum. Rec.cruising, rec.boats.building and alt.sailing are good
but there is also a need for a general boating forum where one does not
have
to wade through all of the political crap and in-fighting posted here. I
can't figure out why people insist on doing this...but they do! So how is
a
new news group formed? To bad we can't make this one moderated to limit
the
content to boating related topics.

Looks like you gotta jump through a lot of hoops. But if they can get all
those binary porno groups we could get another boating group. Maybe
rec.boating?

Those binary porno groups are in alt.*, not rec.*. It's free form over
there and much easier to get a group started.
