vote@rpp386.Dallas.TX.US (Comp.archives voting) (09/30/88)
Approximately 15 days ago an election was called for the newsgroup comp.archives, which is being suggested for the posting of archive site information. This newsgroup is to be moderated by T. William Wells (bill@twwells, bill@proxftl). There current vote count stands at approximately 225 in favor and 5 against. Because of the very high vote count, and the high margin, I will not be mailing out summaries. I really don't think it is needed at this point in time. A letter has been sent to Gene Spafford advising him that the group will most likely pass. Hopefully everything will begin to work correctly in two more weeks when the newgroup is issued. Adminstrators should add an entry for comp-archives to their mailpaths file. Bill has informed me that twwells will soon be, or is by now, connected to uunet, so you can use a route thru uunet. I expect that I will be posting a final tally in two weeks and issuing the newgroup message at that same time, along with mailing spaf the From: lines for the votes. If you have not yet voted, and think you need to, please reply to this article. Edit the Subject: line to reflect your vote. Thank you for your support - - John.
