It appears that sometime after Chuq Von Rospach asked not to be sent any votes for comp.sys.mac.programmer he changed his mind. But not before Roy Smith and I both volunteered to collect them. Well, after corresponding with Chuq and Roy, we've decided that Chuq will take charge. Therefore, I will be sending him a list of the votes that I have received so far. What follows is the list of votes that I have received as of Fri Jan 22 23:56:00 PST 1988. If you are on this list you don't have to bother voting again. If you sent me a vote but aren't on the list you should probably send your vote to chuq@sun.com. I will forward any votes I get in the future to Chuq, but no sense in not playing it safe. On the newsgroup name: some people expressed a preference; most didn't. Personally, I like the name "comp.sys.mac.tech" better, but feel that "comp.sys.mac.programmer" is more practical. The distinction we are trying to make (I think) is more that of programming vs. non-programming questions rather than technical vs. non-technical ones. So far in two days of voting there are 38 ayes and 3 nays. -David Here are the votes that I have received as of Fri Jan 22 23:56:00 PST 1988: "Yes" votes: Nabajyoti Barkakati <naba@eneevax.umd.edu> !
