DON'T send _this address_ votes. DON'T post votes. Message-ID: <1990Nov26.202243.5977@zorch.SF-Bay.ORG> Date: 26 Nov 90 20:22:43 GMT Sender: xanthian@zorch.SF-Bay.ORG (Kent Paul Dolan) Followup-To: news.groups Organization: SF-Bay Public-Access Unix Lines: 22 About 75 votes have been received in the first dozen or so hours, and a surprising number of them are mixed ballots, despite my plea for a straight yes or straight no vote. Just a note on the actual effect of voting against a particular group. The traffic you don't like won't go away, because there is effectively no mechanism for shutting it off. Instead, if the groups designed to isolate it are voted down, it will just show up in groups where you don't want to read it. This isn't a vote about whether emulation or advocacy or used computer for sale or newbie coming up to speed articles are valuable, it is a vote about whether you want them mixed in with stuff you really want to read in other Amiga newsgroups, or want them set off where they are easier to avoid, as was mostly done with games articles. /// It's Amiga /// for me: why Kent, the man from xanth. \\\/// settle for \XX/ anything less? -- Convener, ongoing comp.sys.amiga grand reorganization.
