Okay.

I'm not sure I understand what you are saying... try again? In case you
mean my request for statistical evidence is at all unusual, you are
mistaken. Even considering your weariness with my repetitions, I'd
suggest, yet again, reading the aus.* FAQ.

I will try your patience at least one more time: my *major* objection
was the absence of any statistical evidence of real interest in the
proposed topic of the new group. No one has tried to give me "what I
want" until Cheryl did, just recently.

Liz, please spare me your unwarranted lectures on things you obviously
do not understand (especially considering I have never done the thing
you are accusing me of doing). Also please stop pretending you are
speaking for anyone but yourself, unless explicitly authorised to do so.

As I remember, you were the first person to bring up a valid reason for
the new group creation in the RFD discussion and I immediately
acknowleged it as such. Have I ever asked for that reason again?
Actually, I have never asked for *any* reason, only objected to bogus
ones. Did you even get that?

And, do you actually read all the relevant postings in the thread before
deciding to post? It sometimes make you look as... how shall I put it
mildly... belabouring the unnecessary, perhaps? As to myself, I always
enjoy such (sub)flame wars for their own sake. :-)
