I'd be in favor too and I think there would be at least enough traffic to
support it, as you say far more than a lot of other newsgroups.  I, and
some others too, would probably post more to a pure MI board than to the
general PBM one as I don't like clogging this one up with simple answers
to small MI questions.

While I'm at it though, I'll answer one of those.  Jack Vinson wasn't sure
whether to hit 1 hillock twice or 2 once each.  First of all, hitting 4 in
one turn is incredibly lucky and NOT at all common but unless you are a
Disciple with Light(and you clearly aren't from your post) or there's a
strawbin bush within a couple of squares they probably won't do you much
good.  Anyway, it is better to hit a single hillock twice.  That way, if
you fail to kill the knolltir in the first found you will get a second chance
to finish the job.  Also, it is better to concentrate on clearing a single
hillock to get the treasures in it than spreading out your attacks and thus
not getting the final treasures.
