Here is a summary of reponses I have received about my proposal for
a newsgroup devoted to the game of GO. (I have lost the original
text--if someone could append it as a reply to this note, I would
appreciate it.) Apologies in advance to any respondent who didn't
wish to be quoted. The last response is notable--it says I'm hard
to mail to, suggesting that others tried to reach me and gave up.
I have received no negative responses, either by mail or posted to
newsgroups.

1. You're bloody hard to mail to...
2. YES for net.games.go. Using the net to actually PLAY go would be a
ridiculous waste of bandwidth... unless one cooked up a highly
compressed representation of the board... encoded in printable ascii...
hmm... now I'm thinking about it.

Will some kind-hearted person create net.games.go?
