IMPORTANT NOTICE: Due to circumstances beyond my control, I have not been
able to keep up the discussion for rec.picture.misc and rec.picture.d.
However, there is a slight problem. The voting period, which should have
started on October 15, has been delayed. I feel that the voting should
include who should moderate the group. As of now, no one has stepped up and
volunteered. There is absolutely no way I will allow a group with a
potential high traffic flow to go unmoderated. Otherwise, there will be the
same problem that alt.sex.pictures has now.
I have received positive response for the creation of this group.
Personally, I feel that this group will pass. In case you are wondering
what rec.picture.* is, read below.

rec.picture.misc
rec.picture.d
Purpose: For the posting and discussion of various graphics images that can
be ported to a various computer systems, such as, but not limited
to: ASCII, GIF, RLE, Bitmap, and MacPicture.
Specific Description and Moderation Status:
rec.picture.misc - Moderated. This group is the actual group where pictures
are to be uuencoded and posted. This will originally be
the group where all pictures are posted. However, when
more specific groups are created (ie rec.picture.space,
rec.picture.tv), this will be a catch-all group if a
picture is not covered by any other topic.
The moderator of this group will be ______. (Be
forewarned - I (mholtz@sactoh0.SAC.CA.US) currently lack
the time to moderate this group properly.
rec.picture.d - Unmoderated. This is a discussion group for rec.pictures.*,
and will include notes for FTP and e-mail request sites
where pictures can be obtained. No picture posting is
allowed here, and a periodic posting here by the moderator
will make everyone aware of the fact.
Why Moderation?
1. Prevention of duplicate postings of file.
2. A check to made sure the file can be uudecoded and seen by the receiver.
3. Provide a reasonable assurance that the picture is really worthwhile to
be posted around the world.
4. Provide a controlled flow of postings to prevent site overload.\
Discussion Period: September 5 - ?Unknown?
Voting Period: Delayed until a moderator is found.
