Notwithstanding Isis's very reasonable response, please count me in as a supporter of your idea. In an effort to help
(and address Isis's concern), I can do some some research into how to suggest a group (haven't done it before)
such as alt.binaries.dvd.criterion.blu-ray. I will help in any way I can.
Cheers,
HLCB
