Since some people can't seem to understand that votes for new newsgroups should never be posted, perhaps changing the voting rules as follows would help: (I know there are two similar proposed sets of rules for newsgroup creation, and that the process is really more anarchy than not.) Any vote posted for creating a new newsgroup shall count as two votes against creating that newsgroup. The same person will be allowed to mail a single vote to the vote counter as well. Any vote posted against creation of a new newsgroup shall be ignored by the vote counter, except any vote mailed to the vote counter will be ignored. Discussion on newsgroup name and proposed running of the newsgroup is allowed, however it should not contain an explicit vote on whether the newsgroup should be created or not. -- Bob Larson Arpa: Blarson@Ecla.Usc.Edu Uucp: {sdcrdcf,cit-vax}!oberon!skat!blarson blarson@skat.usc.edu Prime mailing list (requests): info-prime-request%fns1@ecla.usc.edu
