Proposed group addition

[Brian Hyer <bmhyer@ameritech.net>]

OK, then. Let's have a little vote-a-thon amongst ourselves. The questions
before the readership are as follows:

1. In your opinion only, does the current traffic on Usenet support the
creation of a non-Macintosh, non-Apple-II newsgroup within the comp.sys.*
hierarchy?

2. Would you subscribe to such a group and use it? If the majority of people
for whom the group would be a benefit won't use such a group regularly, it's
a waste of resources to try and get it created. There's a lot of work
involved in creating a high-level Usenet group.

3. What is your proposed name for such a group? So far I've seen:

comp.sys.apple.discontinued
comp.sys.apple.legacy
comp.sys.apple.non-macintosh (my own contribution)

Like one? Hate one? Got an idea of your own? Let's hear it.

4. Any comments/thoughts on the whole process? Let's hear those too.
Constructive criticisms will be cheerfully accepted; flames will be just as
cheerfully tossed in the rubbish and set ablaze, while dancing on a burning
effigy of the potential flamer and sticking voodoo pins in it... <grin>

-----

Since I started this, I'll finish it. To minimize traffic on Usenet, e-mail
your replies to bmhyer at ameritech dot net. I'll actually keep track of
them for... let's say two weeks? Long enough to get an idea of response?...
and post the summary of responses on this newsgroup November 15, 2001.
