Or alternatively, 4237 could simply follow the new da Silva voting process and call for a vote today for talk.antique-radio or perhaps misc.antique-radio since it fulfills Chuq's requirement that the group be complimentary but not overlapping. Just make sure you call it an "opinion poll" on a newsgroup name and not an actual vote, otherwise you'll violate Peter's guidelines to say nothing of his common sense. Hope this helps.

Seriously, I see a lot of potential for Peter's new voting guide- lines. I think they're a fine idea. They will certainly stream- line the newsgroup creation process enormously and just think of all the time and excess discussion they will save. For instance, now that Evan Leibovitch has called for rec.arts. erotica, someone else could come along and take an opinion poll on talk.sex or soc.sex without ever having to bother with a sep- arate discussion period. And then, of course, under Chuq's "if it quacks like a vote then it is a vote" ruling, voila! Instant newsgroup! In terms of making it easier to create new groups, the da Silva voting process is the best thing to come along since Brian set up the alt.hierarchy.
