MAY I SUGGEST THE FORMATION OF A NEW NEWS-GROUP,

THAT, OBSERVING THE GUIDE-LINES OF THE NEW NOMENCLATURE,

COULD BE CALLED MISC.LISTS.



THIS GROUP WOULD BE FOR ALL OF US WHO ARE INVETERATE AND UN-RECONSTRUCTED

COLLECTORS & SQUIRRELERS-AWAY OF LISTS OF INFORMATION.

IDEALLY, THIS GROUP SHOULD CUT ACROSS ALL SUBJECT & CATEGORY LINES.

IN FACT, THE ONLY RULE FOR POSTING TO THIS GROUP, SHOULD BE THAT THE 

POSTING MUST CONTAIN USABLE INFORMATION FOR THE READER, SUCH AS,

THE BODY OF WORK BY A PARTICULAR AUTHOR, THE PLAYERS WHO HAVE HIT OVER 500 HOME RUNS,

THE ELEMENTS IN THE PERIODIC TABLE, ALL THE CALIFORNIA WINERIES, ETC.



I DO NOT KNOW THE PROCEDURE FOR CARRYING THIS IDEA FURTHER, SO IF THERE IS ENOUGH INTEREST IN IT...

PERHAPS SOMEBODY WITH THE KNOWLEDGE COULD TAKE IT TO THE NEXT STAGE.



I WILL LOOK FORWARD TO THE REACTION, & HOPEFULLY, PROGRESS.
