[net.news.group] Summary of responses to net.micro.ti99

jmm@bonnie.UUCP (Joe Mcghee) (06/27/84)

To: Mark Horton
	As of this date I have 28 favorable responses to the proposal to
start net.micro.ti99 and 1 unfavorable response. I have listed the responses
in a separate article to follow because of the length. The single unfavorable
voter stated that he opposed the net because he said net.micro.ti already
existed. If this net does exist, I can't find any trace of it; so that takes
care of his objection.
	So, if you can find the time to open the net, I think we have a quorum.

					Thanx,

Looks to me like all the people wanting net.micro.ti99 are from
the same site/area.  I would prefer to see a local (1 machine, 1 site,
or 1 region) group set up in your area before setting up this group worldwide.

One point that could easily be overlooked here is the physical location of
most (or is it all ?) of the people who have voted for this group. They are
overwhelmingly employees of BTL or AT&T.

My point is that if this is and continues to be the case, create a LOCAL
AT&T or BTL news group for ti99 users. The TI99 is (I think) now out of
production, and due to the current proliferation of groups, I think we
should be careful about introducing a group that may have a limited
readership into WORLD distribution.

Another option is to create a na.ti99 group ... the ti99 never was very
popular over here (I shall now sit back and wait for the flames on that
remark!)
