in article <1809@stpstn.UUCP}, aMessage@stpstn.UUCP (Usenet messages objcc group) says:
} 
} Currently, there is a posting in news.groups
} to form an Objective-C news group.  This group
} would be called comp.lang.objc.
} 

...

} This newsgroup will serve the following needs:
} 
}  - Request to Stepstone from the net user
}    community to create an Objective-C newsgroup.
} 

  Huh?


}  - Provide an appropriate newsgroup for articles
}    concerning Objective-C.
} 
}  - Provide a neutral forum for Objective-C users 
}    for information exchange.
} 

  Neutral with regard to what? (Another "Huh?")  Whatever you want
  to be neutral about, don't count on it.  Not on the net, home of
  the world's largest egos.

...

} US Mail contacts:    The Stepstone Corp.
}  Neil Friedman       75 Glen Rd.
}  Andy Novobilski     Sandy Hook, CT  06482
}                      (203) 426 - 1875
} 

Sandy Hook is the home of PPI, the Objective-C company.  Is there
a connection?

My vote:

I think I would prefer to have just one group for object-oriented 
programming and the languages designed for it, rather than bunches.
We could call it comp.lang.ool or something.  But if you start up
a comp.lang.objc, I'll subscribe.
