[comp.lang.c++] Another OOP group

aMessage@stpstn.UUCP (Usenet messages objcc group) (05/14/88)

Currently, there is a posting in news.groups
to form an Objective-C news group.  This group
would be called comp.lang.objc.

I am cross posting to this group since an occasional
Objective-C article is found here.  Any followup should
be posted to news.groups or emailed to me at the below
address.

The posting in news.groups reads as follows:

/---------------------------------------------------/

This listing is a proposal to form a newsgroup 
titled net.comp.lang.objcc to discuss issues
related to use of the Objective-C language in
Object Oriented Programming.

This newsgroup will serve the following needs:

 - Request to Stepstone from the net user
   community to create an Objective-C newsgroup.

 - Provide an appropriate newsgroup for articles
   concerning Objective-C.

 - Provide a neutral forum for Objective-C users 
   for information exchange.

Please forward your comments and votes to:

  Huh?

  Neutral with regard to what? (Another "Huh?")  Whatever you want
  to be neutral about, don't count on it.  Not on the net, home of
  the world's largest egos.

Sandy Hook is the home of PPI, the Objective-C company.  Is there
a connection?

My vote:

I think I would prefer to have just one group for object-oriented 
programming and the languages designed for it, rather than bunches.
We could call it comp.lang.ool or something.  But if you start up
a comp.lang.objc, I'll subscribe.
