A poster has cautioned comp.dcom.telecom readers that the proposed new newsgroup sci.commtech will threaten comp.dcom.telecom. Please rest assured that sci.commtech will include issues other than those currently discussed in comp.dcom.telecom. As a comp.dcom.telecom reader myself, I *know* that this is the case. I proposed sci.commtech partially inspired by comp.dcom.telecom. I am not a telephony or computer telecommunications person. My background is in broadcasting. Sci.commtech is intended for those of us who do not share your impressive expertise in the technical details of telecommunciations and uses of telephony. Sci.commtech, if you followed the discussion, is intended as a more "soft" newsgroup. It is also intended to discuss new "media" technologies which may, of course, include those related to telephony. As I read the latest postings in comp.dcom.telecom today, I did not see one which I felt was appropriate for sci.commtech as proposed. Please, if you have questions about sci.commtech...email and I will reply. I (and others) are *very* enthused about sci.commtech, and it would be more than a shame if we cannot establish this new newsgroup due to mis- understandings about its intent. Thanks very much. Bruce P.S. Please note that the moderator recommended a yes vote. I appreciate this and hope it will further make the point that sci.commtech is not comp.dcom. telecom. -- Dr. Bruce C.
