[news.groups] Discussion Topic - change comp.sys.apple to comp.sys.apple2

lwv@n8emr.UUCP (Larry W. Virden) (04/25/89)

I would like to propose a newsgroup change.  The group comp.sys.apple
is predominantly Apple II related topics.  I havent seen an Apple III
discussion in several years (since the machines are only sold by Sun
Marketing, Inc as Apple II clones, that is probably why).  This group
is gatewayed into info-apple, proline, and perhaps some other places.
But I would like to propose that we rename it to comp.sys.apple2 to
match the name of our source and binary group comp.sys.apple2.

After two weeks of discussion, if there is support for this idea and no
clear opposition, I would like to put this up for a vote and then send
thru a request to the various powers that be to rename the group.  I
hope that if you know folks doing the gatewaying that you might forward
them info regarding the conclusion of this topic.

One final note.  If there is any desire for a meta discussion concerning
the tactics of renaming a group, I personally would appreciate a different
subject line so as to keep things straight.  Thanks!

I have pointed follow-ups to news.groups.  Note that for folks who get
this via mailing lists that I have no idea what group you have to subscribe
to to follow this discussion - I am sorry , but news.groups is the primary
place of discussing this topic on the usenet side of the discussions.

Thanks.
