That's Not True, T. William!!!  Not At All!!

Seriously, I see a lot of potential for Peter's new voting guide-
lines.  I think they're a fine idea.  They will certainly stream-
line the newsgroup creation process enormously and just think of 
all the time and excess discussion they will save.  

For instance, now that Evan Leibovitch has called for rec.arts.
erotica, someone else could come along and take an opinion poll 
on talk.sex or soc.sex without ever having to bother with a sep-
arate discussion period.  And then, of course, under Chuq's "if 
it quacks like a vote then it is a vote" ruling, voila!  Instant 
newsgroup!

In terms of making it easier to create new groups, the da Silva 
voting process is the best thing to come along since Brian set up
the alt.hierarchy.
