This is not the proper use of news.groups. It's perfectly appropriate
to refine a draft RFD in the forum it will affect before submitting an
actual RFD to news.groups.
It's not productive to start discussions on news.groups until there is
something approaching consensus in the interested constituency. The
news managers who read news.groups don't know what the readers
of sci.bio.paleontology want from the group.
