(A different 20 each month, of course). I have suggested a comp.unix.i386 group twice in this forum (news.groups), and have watched others suggest it at least two other times. I have virtually no hope that the group will be created this time, but I would be very happy to be surprised. When I put this question to my 200 subscribers and asked for opinions, with silence implying agreement, about five people, mostly overseas, said that they didn't get Usenet and that they hoped I would forward the traffic for them. I promised that I would do this. Therefore we have approximately 195 "yes" votes for the comp.unix.i386 group, though for the sake of measurement error I will knock it down to 100. Other than this message and response to specific replies to its content, I refuse to discuss the creation of comp.unix.i386. Don't send me mail, I won't read it. I am a passive observer to this process; mail regarding the vote should be sent to Peter da Silva, . -- Paul Vixie Work: vixie@decwrl.dec.com decwrl!vixie +1 415 853 6600 Play: paul@vixie.sf.ca.us vixie!paul +1 415 864 7013
