RESULT
rec.aviation.questions will be removed

The Last Call for Comments (LCC) on 09 Mar 2007 initiated a five-day
period for final comments. Following the comment period, the Big-8
Management board has decided by consensus to remove the newsgroup
rec.aviation.questions.

This group will be removed on 21 Mar 2007.

RATIONALE: remove rec.aviation.questions

The last approved message was in June 1994. The group was created in
April 1994, and had less than 30 articles posted in its 3-month period
of activity. It has been inactive the past 13 years.

Over the next few years, there were occasional comments by a poster
that they had attempted to post to rec.aviation.questions, but their
question had not appeared.

The original moderation scheme called for persons to submit their
question to rec.aviation.questions. After a question was received, it
would be directed to an "answer-maven", who would prepare an answer to
the question, possibly after additional research.

Management board has decided by consensus to remove the newsgroup
rec.aviation.answers.

This group will be removed on 21 Mar 2007.

RATIONALE: remove rec.aviation.answers

The last approved articles were in February 2002. Most of the FAQ's
in the group had not been updated from periods ranging from about 3 to
6 years.

5 of the 8 FAQ's posted to the group were associated with single
groups in the rec.aviation.hierarchy: ra.aerobatic; ra.homebuilt;
ra.hang-gliding; ra.simulators; and ra.ultralight. FAQ's for those
groups could be posted directly to the groups. If there was interest
in updating and posting the other FAQ's, they could be posted to
rec.answers and news.answers (note: at present, such postings may
require self-approvals).
