I strongly suggest to install these new groups. Plenty of things
wait to be written... :-)
And now just for the case I miss the VOTING when I am off into
holiday, i vote
			     Y E S
to installation of all sorts of OS/2 newsgroups, no matter if
moderated or un-moderated AS LONG AS DISTRIBUTION IS WORLD-WIDE.

Additionally, I would like to propose a fourth and a fifth news
group:

comp.sources.os2.d - The discussion group for comp.sources.os2

comp.binaries.os2.d - The discussion group for comp.binaries.os2

So long ... Oliver Kluge
