================================================
Hi Carol.
I myself follow all posts in the 'teevee' group as many people do, I
have come to realize that the 'c4tv' group also post Many BBC
documentaries/programmes as well as other British channels... as
someone here pointed out a few months back and I WRONGLY corrected
them that 'c4tv' was 'Just' channel 4 releases.
I have downloaded/am downloading a few of the posts that you mention
above but as they are already posted in 'teevee' there would be very
little point to re-posting them here when they are easily available in
another group. That would just be re-inventing The Wheel.
I archive them for when they are 'No longer available' and need to be
reposted or are requested.
So as you say, look around in other groups :)
The thing that most people don't get with Katie is that she never
requests anything, but is the first person to complain when too much
War or Doom and Gloom is posted. Another thing is that downloading
isn't mandatory and a killfile is easy to set up.
Katie has also complained after a few war titles were uploaded.
Many of them not seen before by the regulars here.
I myself could upload War titles continuously to this group for the
next year, imagine the Combined archives of ALL the posters of this
group uploading War titles ?
I think that Before THAT happened... it WOULD actually be time for a
separate 'a.b.war' group though :)
I kind of like Katie ! She's reliable... like the Pilgrim Blanket
Chest.
