[news.groups] ** CALL FOR VOTES: talk.problems **

fargo@pawl.rpi.edu (Irwin M. Fargo) (11/20/89)

Considering that there were no major objections to the final name and purpose
of talk.problems, and since the discussion period has lasted the time I plan-
ned, I would like to open the voting period.

The voting period will last for 30 days from Monday, Nov. 20, 1989.  This
posting will be repeated every five days with exclsusion of Sat. Nov. 25 (I'm
on vacation then).

The form of votes: Votes will note be valid unless they are e-mailed to me
at the following address: fargo@pawl.rpi.edu (...!rpi.edu!pawl.rpi.edu!fargo
for you UUCP people).

I also request that you place your vote in the "Subject: " line as being either
yes or no.  DO NOT place any votes in the body of the message as I will ignore
it (and it also will waste my disk space).  Also, be sure that the word that
represents your vote (be it "Yes" or "No") appears only ONCE in your message
(embedded Yes's and No's don't count) as I will be running some scripts to
tally the votes.

If your mailing address is not valid as it appears in the "From: " or
"Reply-to: " lines, please state so in the "Subject: " line (ie. Typical
subject would be "Subject: Yes (address correction)").

Votes will be tallied and results posted on Fri., Dec. 22 (I have finals that
week).  Please do NOT send in your vote twice nor send me a vote correction.
When I read my mail and see your vote, it is final.

Please!  Keep the messages as short as possible!

If you need to send mail to me for something other than voting (messages about
voting procedures fall in the former category) please make sure the Subject:
line makes no referneces to Yes or No votes.  If you feel unsure as to the
meaning of your subject, send me mail at: usergac0@mts.rpi.edu
(usergac0@rpitsmts for BITNET users).
   Thank you,
   Ethan Young
