It is difficult to consult a group that isn't carried on all servers. That's one reason why this thread is being posted to news.groups - it's a group that is carried on almost every Usenet server. >There may be an upcoming vote on this, so please stay informed and read >news.newgroups.announce for updates. And please take part in the discussion if you have a concern that hasn't been raised by someone else. >Also see message <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for an example of the >proponent's temperament. It looks to me like the proponent is upset about not being able to access the existing sort-of-newsgroup, and would like the group promoted to full newsgroup status so that it will have a larger propogation. <snip> -- Rob Kelk Personal address (ROT-13): eboxryx -ng- wxfei -qbg- pbz Any opinions here are mine, not ONAG's. ott.* newsgroup charters: <http://onag.pinetree.org> ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
