OK, folks, I have started the process of THE VOTE. The call has been posted to
net.announce.newgroups. After studying the traffic for the last week or so, it
seems the only workable solution is to spawn comp.sys.handhelds.hp.
Comp.sys.handhelds.not.hp might make one or two people feel better, but what
happens when the Casio traffic gets excessive?
Comp.sys.handhelds.not.hp.or.casio? If the exclusion of HP traffic makes
comp.sys.handhelds dull, so be it. I suspect that people will take up the slack
soon enough. Please, let's keep discussion off the issue of what machine God
Almighty carries in his pocket, and concentrate on the issue of whether there
is a compelling reason not to have a separate group for HP.
