I wish to say here that I completely and wholeheartedly support the timely creation of soc.culture.iranian. It should prove to be an extremely valuable forum for Iranians and those who are merely interested in that great country. Please record my YES vote. Thank you. Yours very sincerely, Bill Wisner <wisner@hayes.fai.alaska.edu> Gryphon Gang Fairbanks AK 99775

It belongs in e-mail, addressed to whatever radical is attempting to create this group. 2) Also, I would like to register my vote against the creation of this newsgroup. Why?

I have received e-mail which has indicated that the initial posting about the new "soc.culture.iranian" was intended as a joke. An inside joke, it would seem, which makes it uniquely inappropriate to be posted to a worldwide network. If this is the case, I am disappointed that the originator hasn't made mention of this fact, but rather allows the Net to be clogged up with followups from those who believe it to be sincere. Let us assume it is a joke, as indeed it must be, and allow it to pass quietly into memory. -- Sam Conway * dragon@eleazar.dartmouth.edu * Don't mention the war!
