-the vote come out to.

-Yes 300
-No  299

-	Now, In my humble opinion, this newsgroup has as much right to
-exist as a speciality group that passes with the vote of:
-
-Yes 105
-No    4

I disagree.  The fact that almost 300 people think that a newsgroup is a
bad idea should be a clue that, perhaps, something is wrong.  At any
rate, the vote should be re-discussed, and then voted on at a later (quite
a bit later) time.
