I hesitate to do this, but ...
After my last posting, It was suggested that someone needed to get the
ball rolling to create a new news.group called comp.copy-protect.
I realize that I take my life in my hands, however, I am hereby
calling for a vote of all net.landians.
THE VOTE-
Yes or no, Should we start a new news group called comp.copy-protect?
On the positive side -
We can get the news groups like comp.sys.brand talking about brand
computers instead of how much we hate Copy Protection. I think we are
all having to hit 'n' far too often nowadays.
On the negative side -
Having a news group specifically for this discussion may end up
cutting down on the exposure that this subject gets. This could reduce
any (possible) effect on publishers bye cutting down on the squeeky
wheel noise.

Bet you didn't know i had such a finely tuned devils advocate!!!! ;-)
Please mail your votes to me (remember Al Franken?) and I will tally
and resubmit them to the net.gods.
I can be reached at zehntel!donw. If you don't have a path to me
in your /etc/path then try to get to me through berkeley (i.e.
berkeley!zehntel!donw)
Failing a net connection, try a post card to

P.S. Bryce, you got me into this :-), and I lost your letter (oops)
Where do I mail the tally??
P.P.S. I have started this by mailing ONLY to comp.sys.amiga. If you
feel that this should be posted in other groups, then please include
your suggestion in the text of your vote. I promise to repost this
message to the groups of your choice. I ask this so that we might cut
down on possible cross posting traffic jams.
