 Until I recently returned to this group (after a 10+ year absence) I 
 hadn't realized this.  It is perhaps illuminating that one of the 
 criticisms that used to be levelled against the RFD/CFV procedure in uk.* 
 is that "it takes months to create a group", often quoting as precedent 
 the "fact" that this is the case in the Big8. 
  
 So, I guess you guys haven't invented Fast-Track either, then?
