This new newsgroup will replace existing newsgroup alt.sci.astro.fits. Reference Entry: sci.astro.fits Issues related to FITS [Flexible Image Transport System] Initial Discussion: On 19 December I posted a message to alt.sci.astro.fits entitled "Create sci.astro.fits?". I received four replies, three in favor and one opposed. The person opposed was not really in opposition to a FITS newsgroup per se, but rather to proliferation of special interest groups. We had an exchange of Email which explored the class of related issues, but the heart of the difference of opinion is fairly well conveyed by the appended extract, in which my remarks are labelled "DW" and the other person's opinions are labelled "OP": OP> I object in principle to groups on Usenet (which is OP> essentially a general purpose public broadcasting system) which have a OP> total potential worldwide readership numbered in the thousands, most OP> of whom don't know about Usenet in the first place, and who are OP> concentrated at only a small minority of the sites. DW> Very few groups on Usenet are read by even 10% of the readers. In DW> fact, the purpose of Usenet is to provide a communication mechanism DW> for modest-sized subsets of the community who have specialized DW> interests. In other words, you are objecting in principle to the main DW> *principle* of Usenet! Each of these small communities agrees to carry DW> the traffic of the other communities, and thus all benefit. -- Donald C.

Reference Entry: sci.astro.fits Issues related to FITS [Flexible Image Transport System] Initial Discussion: On 19 December I posted a message to alt.sci.astro.fits entitled "Create sci.astro.fits?". I received four replies, three in favor and one opposed. The person opposed was not really in opposition to a FITS newsgroup per se, but rather to proliferation of special interest groups. We had an exchange of Email which explored the class of related issues, but the heart of the difference of opinion is fairly well conveyed by the appended extract, in which my remarks are labelled "DW" and the other person's opinions are labelled "OP": OP> I object in principle to groups on Usenet (which is OP> essentially a general purpose public broadcasting system) which have a OP> total potential worldwide readership numbered in the thousands, most OP> of whom don't know about Usenet in the first place, and who are OP> concentrated at only a small minority of the sites. DW> Very few groups on Usenet are read by even 10% of the readers. In DW> fact, the purpose of Usenet is to provide a communication mechanism DW> for modest-sized subsets of the community who have specialized DW> interests. In other words, you are objecting in principle to the main DW> *principle* of Usenet! Each of these small communities agrees to carry DW> the traffic of the other communities, and thus all benefit. -- Donald C.
