sunil@ut-ngp.UTEXAS (Sunil Trivedi) (08/22/85)
Since we the readers of our respective "cultural" newsgroups appreciate that a newsgroup exists where issues affecting our "favourite" culture can be discussed, the time has come for another "cultural" newsgroup, net.nlang.spanish, where issues affecting the Spanish-speaking world can be aired. To get net.nlang.spanish created the "Czars/Tsars" wish that a lot of support be shown. If you (or anyone else) would like to help get net.nlang.spanish created, please post a followup to article <2273@ut-ngp.UTEXAS> on net.news.group. That particular article requests the creation of net.nlang.spanish. If you would like to help, but do not want to post an article to the net, please send e-mail to me (as I am collecting the votes) at the following addresses: Sunil Trivedi P.O. Box 8057, Austin, TX 78713-8057 sunil@ut-ngp.ARPA ...!arpasite!sunil@ut-ngp.ARPA where arpasite is an ARPANET site | | | | | | | | | | | {ihnp4,gatech,allegra,nbires,boulder,ctvax,shell,vortex,philabs,rice,ut-sally} | | | | | | | | | | | +-----+-------+------+-------+------+-----+-----+-------+-----+------+ | ut-ngp!sunil

I feel the same would happen to a net.nlang.spanish, so rather than create it, I propose that the two existing groups and the putative spanish group be merged into a new group called net.thirdworld (or some suitable title) Discussion in such a group would have the advantage of receiving input to common areas of interest from several different cultures, which to my mind would make for richer exchanges.
