1. This argument belongs in news.groups
2. This has already been hashed over.  A call for votes on whether to allow
   a bulk-reorganization was made to news.announce.newgroups (or whatever).
3. The vote for allowing a bulk reorganization passed.  If your vote
   wasn't counted because you didn't bother to vote, tough.

There will be a final voting once discussion and suggestions on the best way
to reorganize have been processed by Chuq.  He's trying to do a job which
many people think needs to be done.  If you don't think it needs to be
done, fine.  You'll get a chance to vote (once again...) on whether the
reorganization will happen.  100 more YES votes than NO votes means it'll
be reorganized.  If you feel it's better to leave it alone and not split
it, the please do your part and vote.

>Should chuq wish to take this as a vote, consider is NO, on any and all changes.

Sorry, but votes are not being taken at this time.  I'd recommend reading
news.groups and news.announce.newgroups so you'll be sure not to miss
your chance at voting.

Lastly, please folks, move this discussion to news.groups. It's where it
belongs.  I'll make my final decision when the proposal on how the groups
are to be reorganized comes up for vote.  I've mailed my suggestions
to Chuq and if I'm really concerned, I'll tune into news.groups.

ALL followups to news.groups, PLEASE!

Ken
