The rules of newsgroup creation demand equal time.  To vote against
the creation of the newsgroup, send a message to www-no@msen.com.

Please don't "reply all" to Tim's message, either, as this would make
it harder to sort out what things are votes, and what are replies to
his message.

For your convenience, here is a copy of the call for votes:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Subject: CFV: comp.infosystems.www

This is a formal Call for Votes on the creation of a new unmoderated
newsgroup called comp.infosystems.www, following a favorable discussion
of this newsgroup.

wide web, including design of software, development of new software,

To vote Yes: send mail to "www-yes@msen.com"
