************************************************ * RESULTS OF VOTING FOR soc.culture.british * ************************************************ In accordance with the 'GUIDELINES FOR USENET GROUP CREATION', following the required discussion period and voting procedure, it gives me great pleasure to announce that the vote gave overwhelming support for the formation of the new group - soc.culture.british. There were 205 valid 'YES' votes cast. There were 23 valid 'NO' votes cast. As you can see, there is no doubt that we therefore easily comply with the 100 more yes votes than no votes, and also the requirement that at least 2/3 of the total number of votes cast are in favour has been met. After the required 5 day waiting period, I will attempt to CREATE the new group from our machine here. If that fails, I will request the people at 'newgroup@ncar.ucar.edu' to do it for me. I thank all of you who took the time to send in your votes, and look forward to the discussions to be held in the new group. ______________________________________________________________________ Here are the addresses of the valid votes received ---------------------------------------------------------------------- THE FOLLOWING REGISTERED 'YES' VOTES.....

British culture, the mind boggles. They mean English culture, don't they? Poor demented souls.

May I take this opportunity to say that some of my friends thought that a couple of my recent posts to this newsgroup needlessly insulted some of the British taking part in this group. My intent was always to have fun with each post I made. While I honestly DO despise the so-called "Royal Family", and wonder why the English tolerate the clowns, I hold no ill feelings toward the British people. I think that our humor does not always translate well, one to another. Anyway, with that said, let's get back to business.
