Wait and see...powerhouse history group could be a lot of fun: we could call it History: Queen of the Social Sciences or simply The History Department. Everyone could get twill coats and smoke tobacco pipes and talk about Susan B. Anthony and Theodore Roosevelt.

I'm definitely psyched about the increased group traffic; every time I would peek into the DU history groups they were pretty dead and so I just took to posting FDR and Truman speeches and such in GD and GDP every so often when I'd get history agro (irritated).

Once we get a little more into DU3, if things aren't lively there can be an open vote or poll and a decision can be made.

I'd say there's easily a dozen regular posters with a deep interest in History and/or substantial academic training in the subject ...
