It seems to me that the idea of presenting neutral tallies of votes in mid-stream has bitten the dust for certain. This is about as skewed as such vote counting can get: In article <4229@bgsuvax.UUCP>, klopfens@bgsuvax.UUCP (Bruce Klopfenstein) writes: > > The yes votes as of 3 PM EDT 9 June 1989 for establishing sci.commtech > are posted here.

Then again, silly me, you don't want "no" votes now, do you? Paul J. Mech oucsace.cs.OHIOU.EDU!deadpup!paul uiucuxc!oucs!oucsace!deadpup!paul

Mech > oucsace.cs.OHIOU.EDU!deadpup!paul > uiucuxc!oucs!oucsace!deadpup!paul At the time of this posting, I had received 5 or fewer no votes. I had received complaints from other voters that their votes had not come through to me and another said he did not see my address on the original call for votes. There is enthusiam for sci.commtech and it would be ashame if interested voters didn't get through. Those interested in blocking sci.commtech should know that my posting served as a catalyst for otherwise disinterested readers recently sending in no votes due to this perceived bias on my part. If you back and reread the discussion surrounding sci. commtech, you will see what the objections were. You will also be able to judge for yourself the support. I hesitate to do any more postings until the voting is over. Bias was introduced by a poster very early in the voting, and that bias came from a minority view. Usenet is a great way to distribute information and personal expertise. I hope we can join. -- Dr. Bruce C.
