I trust someone is keeping track by mail of whether there is really interest
in a net.gay (or whatever it's called).  I haven't seen many people indicating
via news that they are interested, but I suppose I can understand a preference
for mail replies on that topic.  From what's been posted there hasn't yet been
sufficient justification for creation of the newsgroup.

So far I have seen two pieces of mail to the effect "we will not accept or
forward net.gay on this machine because it could force us off Usenet
completely".  Two isolated examples are easily dealt with by the individual
machines.  However, if there are other machines out there that are worried
about some person in their organization causing trouble if net.gay exists
on their machine, please let me know.  I want to determine if such concerns
are isolated or something that the whole net needs to be concerned with.
