sorry for the delay in a response; i've been swamped by real
life for the past week and have rather let the net slide by.
anyway, some have suggested different top-level locations for
the proposed history group; some are ok with me and some are
not. my preferences, in order:
soc.history (matches up with soc.politics, soc.culture,
history as `social science')
misc.history (this is really ok with me, if it's what
people want)
sci.history (this is almost reasonable, but stretching
it a bit -- i don't think i'll call for
it)
talk.history (we really are hoping for a better group than
the one implied by talk.* placement. i'd
vote against this group myself.)
i'll take an informal poll on soc.history vs. misc.history
via email for the next week; whichever name wins is the one that
i'll run a vote on.
