Given that Mr Corley clearly holds a certain fascination for some people,
and that his website, although "informative", isn't exactly ideal for
encouraging discussion of the sort that we all enjoy so much (including
Mike himself, by the look of things), would anyone be up for a Mike
Corley newsgroup - uk.fan.mike-corley, alt.fan.mike-corley, whatever?
(Sorry, I'm not very well up on these things.)

This would be a perfect place for Mike to post his writings, and perhaps
the occasional "look at the ...mike-corley newsgroup" posting in uk.misc
and so on would be accepted in place of the current cross-posts.
