[For some reason, this got clogged in the queue, and should have gone out sometime last week. Apologoies for the delay.-eliot] Formal call for discussion ========================== This is the 1st call for discussion for the creation of an Iranian soc.culture newsgroup. The proposed newsgroup, unmoderated soc.culture.iranian, is intended to generally provide a medium for those interested to express and share their views and feelings about *things* (usually discussed in soc.culture newsgroups) related to Iran and Iranians. The discussion period will last for 2 weeks. Comments and discussions are welcome. M. Hemmat

I strongly support the formation of this group. There are plenty of topics that could be discussed, cultural, political, and philosophical. Saeed Pirooz

The charter to this proposed group should direct purely political
discussions to talk.politics.mideast. This is what currently limits
the flamage in soc.culture.arabic.

This is what currently limits >the flamage in soc.culture.arabic. I disagree. The volume in talk.politics.mideast is too much to handle. Besides, many aspects of Iranian politics is not related directly to the middle east. I strongly feel that soc.culture.iranian should include politics of Iran in its charter. Politics is as much a part of our life and culture as the other facets suggested in the call for vote from Mr. Hematt. -- ....bellcore!rruxh!monnie or rruxh!monnie@thumper.bellcore.com
