It was accepted by a formal vote more than 6 weeks ago! The vote result was overwhelmingly in favor. I (like you) have been waiting patiently ever since for my site to start receiving this new group, but it seems that the whole thing just fell into a black hole. Tony Hansen of AT&T Bell Labs was the official proposer and vote collector, and it seems that he may have dropped the ball. Tony? Are you still alive? What gives? Tony, if you need somebody else to take responsibility for getting comp.std.c++ started up, please say so. Don't just leave us all hanging. I'm sure that there are several people who would be glad to help out in getting this group started. -- // Ron Guilmette // C++ Entomologist // Internet: rfg@ncd.com uucp: ...uunet!lupine!rfg // Motto: If it sticks, force it.
