I was going to post these results last week but our phone lines
were down. I received 15 responses (I think I pulled a few in from
postings but I'm not sure. I know I didn't get everyone who posted
(but didn't mail)) There were 10 Yes and 5 No.
Nearly everyone had ideas for what the groups should be called. Here they are
old machines st
net.micro.atari net.micro.st (2 votes)
net.micro.atari.eightbit net.micro.atari.st
net.micro.atari.520st
net.micro.atarist
net.micro.atari net.micro.atari.st (2 votes, one with a no vote)
net.micro.atari.8bit net.micro.atari.st
There was one vote that we split, but that the group for old machines NOT be
called net.micro.atari800
Most of the no votes said there was not enough traffic and the eight bit
group would go away. One suggested that everyone use keywords to describe
which machines their message is about.

I have no idea what to do now. I was hoping for more votes. I'm going
to talk to some net people about this and see what they say. Meanwhile,
if you want your votes to be counted and it's not in here, send it
posthaste.
