As I said, it wasn't meant as a rude remark directed at you, just a curious observation.
Look forward to hearing about your pipeline improvements.

You can, but we frequently get this question coming up and is met with a resounding NO
Apart from the fact that IIRC it would no longer be possible to have such names, threads intersect and change direction, and people with useful experience wouldn't necessarily visit the other groups causing a splintering of the group
On past form, you're flogging a dead horse

Get a real newsreader
It's also impossible to split uk.d-i-y. It might be _replaced_ and sliced up further, but as there's no way that the Vicar of uk.control would permit this high-level hierarchy of uk. to propagate further. It would have to end up somewhere under uk.rec.but-possibly-a-few-tradespeople-too.d-i-y.thingy
uk.d-i-y also keeps the 'Merkins out, as they don't know what DIY is.

DIY is a 'cover all' title for a multitude of different skills in many areas - it would be daft to split it up! especially as google will search for messages of particular subjects for you.

Why hasn't His Eminence already moved uk.d-i-y to somewhere lower down the heirarchies? Or is there a policy not to tamper on the basis of it being so difficult to stamp out usage of old groups?

The Parish Council dreams of such things, but inertia is a powerful force.

Certainly better than wading through the fights and puke of Watford High Street on New Years eve
Anyway, I had to go and pick up my 500 bottles of Chimay and Rochefort ... the suspension just about survived

I suggest that you actually get a newsreader that works and bin the brain-dead apology for a newsreader that is Outlook Express.

I was in Belgium one New Year's Day. It was memorable for being unmemorable ...

I know what you mean. The Manneken Pis is not really a landmark on the world stage, and even the Grand Place in Brussels is somewhat jaded....

Ah, but I was there for the company, not sightseeing
Well, actually in a little village just outside Liege. Not even one excursion to a bar

It wasn't one of those well known places. I could look it up - but somehow I can't be bothered ... we were taken by a son. We were staying with him while he was stationed at RAF Bruggen and Belgium wasn't far away.
