In any vote for the creation of a new newsgroup, I vote YES. The
news system is a service to our users, and the more newsgroups we can
supply, the better service we are giving.
Is there any way my YES vote can automatically be counted without
my having to mail it?

I can think of a couple of ways: We could just lower the limit of YES votes to 99 from 100, or better yet, I could just automatically vote NO to each new newsgroup, thereby canceling your vote. Seriously, if you don't care enough about your position (of allowing all new newsgroups) to read this group and send your vote by mail, I don't think your opinion (vote) should count for much. -- Paranoia is just good thinking if | David Messer dave@Lynx.MN.Org -or- everybody IS out to get you. | Lynx Data Systems ...!bungia!viper!dave

I have tried to vote on one or two newsgroups, but my mail keeps bouncing. Is there any way I can vote other than posting to news.admin or asking you to record a YES vote for all new groups? Jim Winer ..!lzfme!jwi I believe in absolute freedom of the press. I believe that freedom of the press is the only protection we have from the abuses of power of the church, from the abuses of power of the state, from the abuses of power of the corporate body, and from the abuses of power of the press itself. Those persons who advocate censorship offend my religion.
