Not quite a birthday, but today marks the 10th anniversary of
this newsgroup's conception when I submitted a "request for
discussion" and the proposed newsgroup charter to usenet
uk-hierarchy admin. This was the culmination of several weeks
of toying with the idea, discovering how it was done, talking
to the people who had set up other newsgroups, and so on.
Had I known how much aggro that creation process would
bring, I would never have started!

Having been through the same process some time ago with another newsgroup
(though not as original proposer), I can most certainly sympathise with
that! Thank you for your work in setting up this group, and to all a
(slightly belated, but nicely cold) Happy Birthday!
