Really? Whenever I vote no on a newsgroup it's *because* of the name and/or the charter. Either the name is completely wrong (whether it be a domain that's wrong [sci.skeptic] or a descriptive name) or the charter is against what I want to see on the net (soc.personals). You'll get no votes with any sort of voting system, simply because you need an option to stop the formation of a bad group; no matter how reasonable the name is. -- David Bedno aka davidbe@sco.COM: Speaking from but not for SCO.
