The group should be called rec.music.pfloyd, should be unmoderated, and should be for the purpose of discussing anything of interest pertaining to Pink Floyd (music, videos, books, etc.). Someone said there has been little or no traffic concerning Floyd in rec.music.misc. I seem to recall seeing a lot of discussion in both rec.music.misc and alt.rock-n-roll, but then I don't think traffic should be the deciding factor on whether or not a group should be created. If there is enough interest, and the vote count bears it out, then the group should exist. Personally, I'm more interested in Syd Barrett, so I will probably check in on the group from time to time... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- John Howells | "Science does not | howells@pioneer.arc.nasa.gov Sterling Software | remove the terror | howells@krypton.arc.nasa.gov Palo Alto, Ca. | of the Gods" | howells%kry@ames.arc.nasa.gov

First of all, the idea of a Pink Floyd newsgroup is great! I don't like the name rec.music.pfloyd though. I'd much rather see rec.music.floyd or rec.music.pinkfloyd. Just my opinion, Ron

And comments like that really aren't necessary (prepare to be flamed by a million people). My problem with rec.music.pinkfloyd is just that it's too damn long. rec.music.pinkfloyd is short and specific. And, sure, I'm lazy.

Oh, no. "rec.music.floyd" is the coolest, despite all the previous precedence of "gdead" et al. BTW, our site runs a Floyd list ("eclipse"). There are 181 entries in the list, less than ten of which look like exploders (based on their names). Are there any other Floyd mailing lists? I'll try to get eclipse's maintainer to add his comments. -- Charles Seeger E301 CSE +1 904 335 8053 CIS Department University of Florida MIPS R6000: "The latest Killer seeger@ufl.edu Gainesville, FL 32611 Micro from Hell" --Eugene Brooks
