If you're referring to the call for creation of comp.sys.apple2.tech,
I'd wager that most of the 30 "No" voters didn't think it would help.
comp.sys.apple (whose name I wouldn't mind changing to comp.sys.apple2
to scare the Macintosh folks away) already serves as an unmoderated
Apple II technical newsgroup.  If it isn't very useful, then neither
would comp.sys.apple2.tech be some time after it got rolling.
