Oops, let me clarify:

It does not seem to matter in the end how the newsgroups are voted on, as
regards the existance of any set of newsgroups on any individual node.


Some sites will take voting procedures into account in the process of deciding
whether or not to carry a group (such as the sites who refused sci.aquaria on
the grounds of voting irregularities), but the majority do not.  For example,
uokmax grabs anything it can...including the ba.all groups, though we are not
anywhere near the Bay Area.

BoB smokes *my* pipe!   Completely and totally eliminate repetitive redundancy.
In 1869, the waffle iron was invented, thus solving the annoying tendency of
waffles to wrinkle in the dryer.    THIS IS YOUR LAST DAY TO SEND $1.00!!!!!!
