Gaah! Here is a list of all persons who have responded to my postings [.....] Obviously, majority wanted to create such a newsgroup on USENET. Among 54, 30 said "Yes", 17 said "No", and 7 were not clear. I think this may have been proper procedure in 1982. [.....] So, could you create a new newsgroup "comp.protocols.iso.migration" as soon as possible so that we can discuss seriously and aggressively, and nobody can bother either "comp.protocols.iso" or "comp.protocols.tcp-ip" any more ?? Bother the people directly involved in this issue? Persons who have responded to my proposal so far: [list deleted] This is ridiculous. Comp.protocols.iso *maybe* had about two articles a day in it before this "proposal" came up, and it jumped to a whopping five after that. I see *no reason* for the creation of a new newsgroup, especially since the normal procedures for group creation have been disregarded, or garbled at best. Kwang: read news.announce.newusers. I think you would probably realize from there that there is *no need* for an ISO migration group; relevant articles can just be crossposted to comp.protocols.{iso,tcp-ip}.
