A description of the newsgroup (extracted from the CFD) follows: CALL FOR DISCUSSION : Creating of a USENET group called : MISC.ENTREPRENEURS I am herein proposing the creation of a new newsgroup, entitled MISC.ENTREPRENEURS, to be used as an open forum for the discussion of all aspects of entrepreneurial ventures. NAME: misc.entrepreneurs CHARTER: Discussion of what it takes to be an entrepreneur; what are the issues involved in starting an entrepreneurial venture (My proposal is not to restrict the discussions to computer related entrepreneurial ventures.) MODERATION STATUS: unmoderated. JUSTIFICATION: The last decade of the twentieth century has been hall-marked as the "DECADE OF THE ENTREPRENEURS". Every person has a dream; some of them happen to have dreams of being entrepreneurs; A lot of corporations (eg. 3COM) have encouraged entrepreneurs withing their organizations, what they call as "intra- preneurs". There is a wealth of information that needs to be tapped before one embarks on a venture. USENET offers an efficient and inexpensive way of communicating discussing, and sharing ideas and thoughts. Follow - up Discussion To newgroups : news.groups and new.announce.newgroups ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Ramesh Chandak rc05@gte.com "Standard hi-tech disclaimer applies : These views do not represent my employer or my employer's opinions in any form whatsoever."

I really cannot BELIEVE that this was posted to comp groups such as comp.os.msdos.programmer! It would serve the caller right if everyone who reads that group (along with all the folk who read comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc newsgroup) send him NO votes! People, people, people! THINK before you cross-post.
