I agree that I think that there is room for many people with different interests discussing in different threads. I can tell quite soon whether a thread is of interest to me or not, as I'm sure others can.

If you do want to start a newsgroup on relational design, then it should have the word "relational" in it. I have been accused of being a troll here when I question relational theory, while this is not stated as a relational theory group. I have an interest in database design as much as database theory, but would surely stick to relational design if that were the name of the group. For folks interested in all things relational, perhaps comp.databases.relational would be good. Just a thought. --dawn Received on Fri Jun 04 2004 - 00:16:46 CEST
