Ok.. net.sf-lovers is gone, and I am in tears !! Considering that I found more worthwhile sf to read thru this newsgroup than by any other means, I would really like to see ont.sf-lovers [or perhaps can.sf-lovers, in case this cut has an impact on other provinces]. How do we go about creating it ?? Of course I may be over-estimating the number of sf-lovers on the ontario side of the net, in which case this is null and void, and you may safely tell me to go to North-Pole.

> ...I would really like to see ont.sf-lovers Sounds plausible to me. I strongly suspect that this is the way the net will go in future, with the non-technical groups mostly local. > [or perhaps can.sf-lovers, in case this cut has an impact on other provinces] I think the only non-Ontario sites getting news through utzoo are the folks in Newfoundland, who don't get most of the non-technical groups anyway. Making it ont for the moment sounds reasonable. > Of course I may be over-estimating the number of sf-lovers > on the ontario side of the net, in which case this is null and > void, and you may safely tell me to go to North-Pole. Ozan having volunteered :-) for the job, I suggest that anyone wanting ont.sf-lovers send mail to him (not to me, i.e. not using the reply command!) saying so. Mail to utzoo!yetti!oz. > How do we go about creating it ?? If Ozan gets enough mail, I'll set up the group on a trial basis. I think we're a sufficiently small community that we don't need to be as fussy about procedures for group creation as the net at large. -- Henry Spencer @ U of Toronto Zoology {allegra,ihnp4,linus,decvax}!utzoo!henry

yes, I'd like to see this group. I've been reading net.sf-lovers, and, like you, mourn its demise. Jim
