Folks -

net.nlang.africa has been created. I thank all those either
called personnaly to cast their vote or support and those
that sent mail directly to me. I was extremely delighted
to read those interesting responses.. Here is a summary 
of the request:

	51 people responded either by mail or telephone calls.

		40 peole were supportive and felt that the
		   group was long overdue. Majority of these
		   people felt that we should not limit our
	           discussion to only African countries but
	           that we should include other issues related 
		   to other black countries across the globe.


		10 people felt they could not contribute much
		   to discussions on subjects related to  Africa
		   but they will subcribe to the group if it is
		   created.

		2  peole felt that I should not have posted my
	    	   request in net.general. They were neither
		   positive nor negative.

Once again, I thank you all and I hope we shall all have interesting
discussion in this newsgroup.
