There was a call for votes in rec.music.misc for a group called
talk.lists. It failed 91 to 34. Does this mean that rec.music.misc is a
lost cause, and a dead notesfile?
Please, cancelling a notesfile is no solution. You cancel notesfiles
when they don't get traffic. Comp.sys.apple has as much traffic as any
other file I've read. If this traffic can be warped and represented by one
call for votes, I'm certainly not in the right place.
I could easily flame the request to shutdown the notesfile, but I think
this is far too serious to joke around about. If people don't like the Apple
II, I dare suggest that you not royally tee-off at least 125 people. In my
book, 125+ people means more than "Oh, well, gosh, we didn't get a vote of
anywhere near 1000 to 93, so we might as well trash the file. The Apple II
file doesn't get 90% of all comp.sys traffic, so it's a waste of time."
Baloney. Any 17 year old college brat knows that. Go try to be
righteous with some other notesfile. I'm not flaming, but I am not happy.
Ken.
