This is a final call for votes. The pertinent information: Proposed Group Name: rec.audio.high-end Moderated: Yes Moderator: Thomas Krueger (tjk@csd4.csd.uwm.edu) Charter: Rec.Audio.High-End will be the USENET gateway to the Internet mailing list Info-High-Audio. The wide-spread readership of Info-High-Audio implies such a newsgroup would be popular. The messages I received during the discussion period seem to support that claim. As is Info-High-Audio, Rec.Audio.High-End would be moderated. PLEASE notice that Rec.Audio.High-End is to be a GATEWAY for the Internet mailing list Info-High-Audio. That is, the only purpose for the group to exist is to offer Info-High-Audio to the USENET community at large and allow the members of USENET to participate in the discussions in Info-High-Audio. While Info-High-Audio is a digest, the individual messages would be posted one at a time with a header similar to "X-Index" or some such to indicate where in a digest that particular article would be located. Since Info-High-Audio is moderated, Rec.Audio.High-End would also be moderated, much like "comp.sys.sun" (for example) is moderated. Voting Method: E-Mail only, to <tjk@csd4.csd.uwm.edu>. State "yes" or "no" as unambiguously as possible. Voting will be open until 15 January 1990. Votes received after that date, as well as any posted votes, will not be counted. I will try to send an ACK message for each received vote; there will be a mass ACK at the end of the voting period. If (and only if) there are 100 or more "yes" than "no" votes AND a clear 2/3 majority, a newgroup message will originate from CSD4 after 20 January. Please remember you are voting "yes" or "no" to THIS proposal ONLY. If you do not like the proposal, vote "no" and mail in suggestions for a new proposal. I will be glad to answer any questions you have via e-mail or discussion in news.groups.
