OK, if some people are thinking about creating a new newsgroup (about
50% of the replies seem to favor this), then someone with knowledge of
this process should hold a vote.  Although I am not really in favor of
creating/renaming to an hp handheld group, I think a vote at this
point is worthwhile to keep this discussion from tying up the
newsgroup.  The vote should settle the disagreements for a while. 

So, does anybody out there who knows the "proper" way want to conduct
the vote?
