 Oh, Please. While there may be a few people out there that never use the WWW 
 and use a DOS based program to read Usenet, those are in a very small 
 minority. Almost all people who read Usenet (through whatever means) are 
 also quite capable of accessing web pages through various html-reading 
 browsers. The fact that you choose not to does not mean that the vast 
 majority of internet using people share your views. In fact, I'd hazard a 
 guess that there are far more people who use the WWW who have never even 
 heard of Usenet than vice-versa. 
  
 And lets be practical; there is buckets of information out there on various 
 breeds of cats, whether that info is on Usenet, on Web pages or even in 
 local libraries. What is *less* available is information on the methods and 
 techniques of breeding cats. Rpc.announce already holds the FAQs for many 
 breeds, if rpc.breeds is going to be successful in its own right, it needs 
 to offer something different than just more breed information to its 
 readers. While I *hope* that discussing breed traits etc in rpc.breeds would 
 not be off topic, I would trust that the main focus of the group would be a 
 discussion on the art of breeding rather than yet another place that holds 
 info about various breeds of cats.
