net.misc is not the correct place to be discussing this, for two reasons: (1) Protocol: It has been informally agreed upon that group discussion take place in net.news.group -- (2) Readership: net.news.group is the more appropriate place for this, mainly be- cause many many readers would otherwise not see the discussion in net.misc (after all, I would think the majority has unsubscribed by now) Now, a problem that MUST be solved before the group is created (if it is created): We must decide whether it is net.book or net.books -- I have seen both proposed and voted on; well, that's just the sort of confusion that develops when people start sending in votes of yes/no to the net. That's not what this is for. Unless some clear statement is made, both are going to be popping in and out forever.

I say it should be net.books instead of net.book. In this way it is similar to net.cooks.
