There was a two-week discussion on news.groups, and all calls for discussion and votes have been posted to all the comp.sys.amiga.* groups, as well as news.groups, rec.video, comp.mail.multi-media and sometimes comp.graphics. However, the first two calls for votes were munged somehow by my poster, I think, and only the third which I posted a few days ago actually went out. As for news.announce, I cannot get mail to it. I can send mail back and forth to Mr. Lear just fine, but the address for submissions bounces every way I can think of to route it. He has finally posted a copy of the call for votes that I included in one of my messages to him. >Perhaps this explains why the "voting" is low? Well, as I said, it is no more. But you're probably right - nobody saw my 'call for votes' messages, though I'm pretty sure my 'call for discussion' messages got out all right, at least the initial ones that were posted here. >If you want to create a new group, I suggest you get a copy of the current >rules for doing so ... an updated version was posted just this past week, so >it should still be on your machine (in one or more of the news.*.* groups). I have them. I've been accused of not following them and not having them, but I have read them and I am following them to the letter as best I can. >Or you could ask Kent ... he has some recent "experience" in doing this ... :-) Actually, I'm having rather similar experiences with Mr. Lear as Kent has had recently... >This is not intended as a flame ... just a reminder that if you want to do >this, then please do it right. Not taken as such... I've gotten enough flames on my "not following the guidelines" that I know what they look like by now! . <<<>>> -- .---------------------------------------------------------------------------. |Ben Scott, professional goof-off and consultant at The Raster Image, Denver| |Amiga UUCP node domain: bscott@vila.denver.co.us Else: bscott@nyx.cs.du.edu| |FIDO point address 1:104/421.2, or call the Arvada 68K BBS at (303)424-9831| |"Don't embarrass us..."
