njs@uunet.UU.NET (Nicholas J. Simicich) (12/26/89)
It was a close one, but rec.sport.pro-wrestling just squeaked by. The final results were 159 for and 48 opposed. This is a fairly large number of no votes. Some no voters voted that way because they thought that the group was named badly. One no voter stated that they voted that way because they felt that professional wrestling was not a fit subject for the net, and belonged in alt (I presume with alt.sex or something). The vote passes both the 100 vote minimum difference requirement and the 2:1 yes/no ratio requirement (even though this vote was called before that requirement took effect). Failing serious objection which would tend to reverse this result or invalidate the vote, I'll issue a newgroup for rec.sport.pro-wrestling on December 27th. The charter (from the original call for votes, someone had saved it and mailed it to me) is: >This will be an unmoderated group the charter of which will be: > > To discuss the "sport" of pro wrestling, as it occurs on TV and in > arenas throughout the world. In the following list of votes, explicit paths are relative to scifi or uunet (barring the vagaries of mailers and gateways), whereas mail with an @ in the address was likely sent to njs@ibm.com, with a couple of obvious exceptions. Votes are roughly in the order received. Feel free to sort them into any order you like. :-) If there are any questions, please drop me a note. I've examined this list, and feel that if there is any irregularity, it is not enough to affect the final outcome of the vote. As a vote taker, I can only trust the pieces of email I receive.
