Since the creation of net.politics.theory, the Socialist/Libertarian
argument has been virtually eradicated from net.politics.  Furthermore,
although that discussion occasionally lapsed into the background of
net.politics, it has enojoyed a continuous livelihood in net.politics.theory.

For the same reaons that net.politics.theory is successful, it is now
appropriate to create net.politics.nukes.  In addition, net.politics is
consistently high in the "Top 25" busiest news groups; net.politics.nukes
would divert at least some of the traffic.

If you think net.politics.nukes, please mail a message to me saying so.  It
is conceivable that the more general net.politics.arms is more appropriate;
if you would rather have that subgroup please specify.  I will compile all
responses into a petition.  In any case, it is imperative that you do
*something*, be it lobbying via mail or lobbying via news groups, because
a news group will *not* be created without input from the Usenet community.
C'mon Tim Sevener, Jim Matthews, Martin Taylor, and the rest of you, say
something about net.politics.nukes!
