Folks - net.nlang.africa has been created. I thank all those either called personnaly to cast their vote or support and those that sent mail directly to me. I was extremely delighted to read those interesting responses.. Here is a summary of the request: 51 people responded either by mail or telephone calls. 40 peole were supportive and felt that the group was long overdue. Majority of these people felt that we should not limit our discussion to only African countries but that we should include other issues related to other black countries across the globe. 10 people felt they could not contribute much to discussions on subjects related to Africa but they will subcribe to the group if it is created. 2 peole felt that I should not have posted my request in net.general. They were neither positive nor negative. Once again, I thank you all and I hope we shall all have interesting discussion in this newsgroup.
