For some time statisticians at various sites (Berkeley, Stanford
Washington, Wisconsin and Bell) have been exchanging information
over the various networks.  We have been doing this using mail,
but as the group has grown this has gotten cumbersome, hence
Steve's proposal.  The point is that there is a ready-made and
fairly large group of statisticians who would like to use this
forum to communicate with other statisticians and also make their
experience available to others who might be interested.  On the basis
of my (relatively short) experience with netnews I would say that
the statistics group will be far more active than net.math.  For
this reason we would like to have our own group and we would like
it to be called net.stat.
