I am in favor of use of USENET instead of mail where possible.
An option to waiting for the voting rules procedure would be to make an
alt.infosystems.www.programmer newsgroup
alt. groups have NO rules for creation, (merely creategroup and deletegroup
message wars :-)
would use of an alt group TEMPORARILY (until we get a real comp. group created)
be a problem for anyone? (e.g. your site refuses ALL alt. groups, your newsfeed's
newsadmin requires bribes to feed you an alt. group ;-) ...)
