Murphy's reply to Todd South contained a few *really*
important statements, e.g., 193 subscribers to APPLE2-L "if ...
subscribers could be counted" -- we need 100 YES votes for
a comp.binaries.apple2 newsgroup.
Question 1: When rec.equestrian's newsgroup was created
I really didn't see a call for votes and
wonder if Ken just forwarded his list of
subscribers to the net gods and asked for a
newsgroup.
Question 2: There's so *little* traffic in *some* of the
newsgroups, I see no reason why we would
be denied our request for comp.binaries.apple2
or whatever it will be called, if we ask
Chris to submit his mailing list to the net
gods evidencing more than 100 subscribers.
Question 3: If Chris at BROWN.BITNET can't submit the
request because he's at a BITNET site; who
would be willing to submit the mailing list
to the net gods and go thru the procedures
for creating this newsgroup?
And if I'm all wrong about any/all of the above and *most*
of you are still apathetic about a newsgroup where you could
get public domain, shareware programs, regularly, send
flames to /dev/null.
*mega sigh*
