Index Number: 12063 This past summer I posted some articles asking if there is any interest in starting a new group specifically for the discussion of deaf culture. This really applies to those getting USENET newsgroups, and the articles could be cross posted to the fidonet group. (or can you fidonet people get USENET groups) Anyways, I would like to hear any input you might have or if you would support/not support a newsgroup. I would propose that the newsgroup not be moderated, but if some USENET/FIDONET connection is needed it be maintained automagically. This group would mainly be concentrated on the same types of postings that currently occupy misc.handicap, a truly inappropriate place for the discussion of deaf culture, deaf language, and deaf issues, Etc. If there is interest in creating such a newsgroup an official vote would be needed and other such formalities followed.. If there is enough interest I will post as to what needs to be done. In the meanwhile I'd like to hear your input.
