For you new folks, there is a desire to split net.auto so technical discussions may be separated from other auto related discussions. One of the two new news groups below could be formed. net.driving net.auto.tech ___________ _____________ Dale Chaudiere, FLUKE Pat Vilbrandt, FLUKE Jack Hagerty, Zehntel Automation Sys. Mike Graham, AT&T Technologies Chris Meier, Honeywell SRC Mark Bernstein, Texas Computation Cen. kitten@NCAR I need more responce than this before I formally propose a new news group. If you have an opinion on the matter, please reply.

*** REPLACE THIS WITH YOUR *** > I need more responce than this before I formally propose a new news group. > If you have an opinion on the matter, please reply. Count me in for net.auto.tech. The only thing I can see wrong with net.driving is that that is a VERY generic grouping. If the desire is to restrict that group to automobile driving entries, it would probably be better to call it net.auto.d or some such thing. If you wish to open the discussion group to ALL drivers (e.g. motorcycles, etc.), then net.driving is fine with me. Let's get the technical stuff in a technical grouping, and win one for the Gipper.

[] I'm not sure what significance there is in the grouping of various individuals under the two net groups listed above. Maybe there isn't any, but just to clarify, in my recent posting I was offering my support for the *general* idea of spinning off a new group. I'd be interested in subscribing to both, perhaps... but if it is important for individuals to be "listed" in one group or the other to get a formal request through I would prefer to be listed as a "charter member" [if that's what this is all about :-) ] of the new net.auto.tech group.
