[news.groups] The well-connected-site cabal

.
(This started in news.admin, but it getting swept into news.groups
where it belongs)

Recently, a couple of points have come up re: newsgroup proposals.

1) Can there be a 72 hour extra waiting period to allow for mail
   delays ?

2) Can posted votes under any conditions be counted ?

My feelings are, in both cases, no, but thats not important right now.
The point I'd like to address is who answers these ? If the backbone
has truly been dissolved, how do we know what will get created ?

.sex ? .women ? .eniac ?

Is anybody in charge here ?

If not, I nominate Bob Webber.
