[net.books] Why Flame? Why Not net.books.lists?

phoenix@genat.UUCP (phoenix) (02/22/86)

Disclaimer:  I am very new to the Usenet, so please excuse me if I am
using improper procedure, etiquette, or if I accidently step on someone's
toes.  I would appreciate feed-back on anything that needs correction.

In net.books there is massive flaming going on about whether there
should/should not be booklists posted to it.  Many people like the
booklists, so they should continue to have access to them; many people
dislike the booklists, so they should not have to deal with them.

The simplest solution to me would seem to be the formation of a new 
newsgroup:  either net.books.lists or net.books.bibliography or some
such solution.

As I do not know anything about how to set up a new newsgroup, I am posting
this so that the people who *do* know about such things can deal with the
problem.  Follow-ups are requested, please.
