We have good news and bad news. Good news: STV resulted in the reasonable name "comp.groupware". Bad news: Group champion thinks that voting in comp.groupware also implies voting in a "followup group" called comp.groupware.f. The idea of a followup group doesn't work unless the original group is moderated; otherwise people don't use the followup group. See alt.sources for an example. Periodic flaming results from non-source articles in alt.sources. Discussion is supposed to go in alt.sources.d, but it doesn't, because people make mistakes. I know that the groupware proposal included groupware.f. But the people- voted-for-it argument didn't work for comp.women, sci.aquaria or comp.protocols.tcp-ip.eniac. It won't work for comp.groupware.f either. -- You may redistribute this article only to those who may freely do likewise.
