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:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
