[net.misc] net.book

alb (02/17/83)

net.misc is not the correct place to be discussing this, for two
reasons:  (1) Protocol:  It has been informally agreed upon that
group discussion take place in net.news.group -- (2) Readership:
net.news.group is the more appropriate place for this, mainly be-
cause many many readers would otherwise not see the discussion in
net.misc (after all, I would think the majority has unsubscribed
by now)

Now, a problem that MUST be solved before the group is created (if
it is created):  We must decide whether it is net.book or net.books
-- I have seen both proposed and voted on; well, that's just the sort
of confusion that develops when people start sending in votes of
yes/no to the net.  That's not what this is for.  Unless some clear
statement is made, both are going to be popping in and out forever.

I say it should be net.books instead of net.book.
In this way it is similar to net.cooks.
