england hierarchy
Philip Baker
No, not the hierarchy of the C.of E. but the Usenet "england" hierarchy.
These newsgroups seem to have been created fairly recently but only this
one, england.religion.christian, gets any posts - apart from a few
people in england.chat.
Who was inspired to create them? How was it determined on what ones
should be set up? Or is this an ineffable mystery.

Not terribly recently, created in June 2000, see
http://groups.google.co.uk/group/england.news.policy/msg/211e71c7e48d34ba?dmode=source
Though http://www.england.news-admin.org appears to have died and
Darren Wyn Rees appears to no longer post (well not much - the most
recent email address I could found had about 1 post a year via google
groups)

Thanks for the information. I normally avoid Google Groups so I didn't
think of looking into its archives - I don't know quite how much they
keep nowadays anyway. I couldn't really find out from Google if any of
the england.* NGs have been more active in the past - I suppose I might
have if I had spent a lot more time searching.
