Well, I could lie...uh...be impressive with statistics and truthfully say that the votes for creating net.sources.d ran 96% in favor. But instead I'll say that I got 25 letters; out of those I got 24 "yes" votes and 1 "no" vote (because he would rather see net.sources rmgroup'd and go with mod.sources only). Various suggestions were made (some directly to me but most on the net), among them were: # call net.sources.d net.sources.announce This was largely met with disdain because it was feared that the very posters of articles we are trying to force into net.sources.d would feel that "announce" was specifically inappropriate and would keep right on posting to net.sources. # rmgroup net.sources, use only mod.sources *I* liked this one a lot, but so many people screamed that the mod.* groups are not yet out of their infancy and are difficult to post to, etc. that I don't think it is a good idea *yet*. Many people expressed difficulties in reaching moderators of certain groups, for example; mod.sources was cited in particular. So, I guess that, unless anyone has any violent objections, I will create net.sources.d on Monday, March 10 (give people time to scream at me before I do it).
