Rec.photo** hijack

Be aware that there is an effort by Alan Browne and several others of
this newsgroup to create four new rec.photo** newsgroups. Creation of
these groups will kill this group. Worst of all, the charter of this NG
will not be affected if any of these new groups are passed, which means
that this group will abandoned by the talented folks. Alan Browne is on
record for wanting a charter change for this newsgroup. Russ Allmighty
of news.groups declared that charter amendments are not possible, so
this is Alan and his gang's way of creating a safety zone for the
elite. Please do not fall for this line of subterfuge. It is a crock.
