OK, I haven't been following the net.internat stuff very closely cause I've been so @#%@#$%@ busy, but here's what I see: a) net.internat wasn't created via current USENET anarchical procedures (try to figure that one out), so it was removed -- probably at least partially so net.bizarre readers wouldn't feel more persecuted than anyone else. This much I understand and agree with -- it sure woke a lot of people up to the deterioration [spelled w-i-l-d g-r-o-w-t-h] of the USENET. b) A lot of people here in North America are interested in net.internat and seem to have sound reasons for it -- a lot of them directly business- related. c) The consensus, however, also seems to be that due to massive traffic it should be a moderated group. d) COP OUT STARTS HERE: I don't have the time, interest, or knowledge to moderate this group, but I imagine if someone will volunteer to moderate it and take a readership poll VIA MAIL that mod.internat can get off the ground 'legally'. e) COP OUT ENDS [PARTIALLY] HERE: Since I'm suggesting this, why don't I go ahead and take the poll myself until a brave soul agrees to moderate this possible new group. I have many addresses below; and for those on the West Coast we talk to idi -- for those Canajuns reading I believe that watmath and clyde talk (not positive).
