CALL FOR DISCUSSION: Comp.lsi.cat Change proposal The response to the above call for discussion was quite good, so we think it makes sense to post the regular call for votes in two weeks. The general echo to the contents to be discussed was positive, however, a number of people disliked our proposal for the name. To avoid endless discussions and repeated calls for discussions on the name only, we would like to contribute a compromise. We dislike any group ending with an explicit '.test' in it, due to possible misunderstanding of the purpose (ref. to 'alt.test', 'news.test' and their special task), but an often mentioned name for this group seems to be reasonable. It is comp.lsi.testing and we hope, this one makes all the "ates" and "fault.tolerants" and "cad.testers" etc. happy. (You may still vote against; don't do!) The regular call for votes will refer to this name unless there will be a large cry for change on the net. So don't be confused, when you see a call for votes for comp.lsi.testing. PLEASE RESPECT AGAIN THAT THE FORUM FOR RESPONSES TO THIS LETTER IS NOT THIS GROUP WHERE YOU HAVE FOUND IT, BUT news.groups.
