I, for one, voted no to this group.  I did not (and still dont) think
that name comp.women was appropriate.  A lot of people agreed with me.
A lot of people didn't.  The vote was taken and, as per the rules,
there were over 100 more yes votes than no votes so the group should
be created.  The margin may have been small, but that just goes to
show that every vote counts.


I would be very disappointed if this group got vetoed.  This is not a
"junk" group, it's not stupid or useless.  I may not like the name,
but a group like this should exist and a lot of people seem to think
the name is fine.  Just like any other news group, if you REALLY dont
want it, NO ONE is forcing you to accept it.  Maybe someday the name
will be changed but that will have to be another battle...  Create the
group and get it over with.  enough is enough.  let's move on to
something more important.
