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 Don White re: comp.copy-protect P.O. 271177 Concord CA. 94527-1177 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. =========================================================================== disclaimer - If I'm not responsible and you're not responsible, then who's flying the plane?!?!?... Oh ma gosh!!
