Wale Akinpelu (houxm!aaa) is attempting to start net.nlang.africa.

Those in favor of such a newsgroup are encouraged to support him by:

	1. Submitting a `yes' vote to net.news.group
	2. Mailing a letter of support to Wale directly

Like the other net.nlang.* groups, this one would not be devoted strictly
to african languages (though that would be fascinating, given enough
support). Rather, it would provide a forum for the discussion of topics
concerning Africa in general.

Given the level awareness of African culture, current events, and history
around the DrivelNet, I sincerely hope that such a newsgroup might
flourish to become a source of enlightenment and understanding.

Oh yes, may I suggest that, should net.nlang.africa be successful, people
submitting music articles there would double-post to net.music as well!!
