lvc@tut.cis.ohio-state.edu (Lawrence V. Cipriani) (03/25/89)
This is the second call for votes for the proposed sci.edu newsgroup, just in case you missed it the first time. I lost three votes (sorry). One from a lady with a first name of Lili, from CMU I believe, one from a gentleman from AT&T. The other I can't remember anything about, other than it was a yes vote. I received these around March 14th. If you voted around this time and you want to be certain I have your vote, just vote again. I will check for duplicates in the final tally. Here is some repeated information from the first call for votes: I had to post this twice since postnews wouldn't let me post to 16 newsgroups at once, please reply to this only once. As a reader of many of the sci and comp newsgroups I have seen a lot of material that is discussed more appropriately in a general education forum. Unfortunately, such a news group does not exist. Hence, sci.edu. It would be used to bring general discussion of education, and in particular science education, into one news group. Votes will be collected until April 6th. If the number of yes votes exceeds the number of no votes by 100, the newsgroup will be created. If you are for or against this proposed newsgroup send me your vote along with your email address. Just replying to this article (the R command in rn) should get it to me. If that does not work, try manually sending it to: lvc@cis.ohio-state.edu (...!osu-cis!tut!lvc might work too). As a last resort, try the address lvc@cbnews.att.com (...!att!cbnews!lvc). Group or posted votes will not be counted. I will not be able to reply to you individually until after the voting period is over. Followups to this article have been directed to news.groups. Thank you for your vote. -- Larry Cipriani, lvc@cis.ohio-state.edu
