Right.  I am only taking votes for/against sci.psych BY MAIL.  I have not
been taking votes for sci.cog-sci (or whatever).  Neither have I been
tallying any votes posted to a newsgroup for/against sci.psych.

FYI: The vote for SCI.PSYCH currently stands at 90 YES/1 NO.  I think that
while it does not strictly hold to the "100 more YEA than NAY" rule, there
is enough interest to request that the group be created.  I will post the
list of YEAs and NAYs and send a message to the net-gods asking that
sci.psychology be created netwide.

In addition, Erik Fair at UCBerkeley has agreed to gateway the INET
sci.psychology messages.  This means that the USENET group will be called
'sci.psychology' instead of 'sci.psych'.

My training was in psychophysics and cognition.  I would support a separate
sci.cog-sci group and am willing to count the votes for sci.cog-sci.

I understand that some folks having been having problem getting e-mail to
me.  If you have problems getting e-mail to me (see e-addresses at end of
this message), then you can send your vote bye paper mail to:
