Well, I don't like mailing lists for several reasons, most
importantly, because I don't get to read what I want, but everything.
Also, I have to read everything at the same time, first thing in the
morning, when I'm reading my other mail.  Apparently, many other
people think the same way, since the ratio of ``yes'' answers to
``no'' answers was about 4-5 to 1.  

Would anyone be interested in piping the newsgroup to the mailing list
and vice versa? Would the mailing list people want that? Or is this
the whole point behind the mailing---to be isolated from the rest of
the net?

Anyway, I think we should go ahead an create alt.music.tmbg. I'll wait
another week or so to make sure.

I would support creation of such a group -- I think the best name would be
one of the following:

	alt.personality.types
	alt.personality.myers-briggs
	sci.psychology.personality.types
	sci.psychology.personality.myers-briggs

My impression is that, in the psychological research community, there
is a much more work being done in personality disorders than in
non-pathological personality types.  For that reason, I think that
"types" or "myers-briggs" should be part of the name, and that both
alt.personality and sci.psychology.personality would be ambiguous.

Perhaps we could all pressure major sites like UUNET to start implementing
these policies too, in hopes that it will make newgrouping discontinued
newsgroups very difficult.

I'm the 'character'. In fact I'm not - I'm a GM.

Anyway; 

I apologize for any inconveniences my mistakes may have caused. The
group has now been created with a correct name, alt.magnus.and.ketil

I will also defend that the group is a valid one;

It was proposed here as per the directions, there were no objections -
I didn't really expect any applause, the readers of / writers in this
group don't read alt.config - Too much Tim.

The group should not be no.alt.magnus.and.ketil (as is the
alternative) , because - contrary to some belief here, there are quite
a lot of foreign interest in mine and Ketil's person.

There have been over a hundred messages in alt.magnus* since it
started, out of the fifty latest in alt.m_a_k there are 15 from
non-norwegian sites. There would be more, I am convinced, if the group
was not x'ed at several sites.

I think if it gets removed, it should be replaced by

I have no objection to alt.culture.oregon, but should we instead consider making
a class of groups based on alt.usa.state... or alt.state...., such as
alt.usa.state.oregon?  This could include culture, food, politics, etc., and
we could eventually have one for every state.  The drawback I see is if there
was a need to expand this further, then alt.usa.state.oregon.culture might
interfer with the existing group state.oregon.  Anyway, alt.culture.whatever
has previously been directed at countries and societies.  I propose that
we look into alt.usa.state or alt.state
  comments?

Here's a yes vote, but maybe somebody can quickly fill us all in on
the standard practice of creating an alt group, wasn't it something
like yes votes - no votes > 100 or something?

I agree!  I'm pretty new to this group but I think I've read more posts

A much better name, from an alt. point of view, would be
alt.fishies.cichlid.  alt.cichlid, by itself, would not give anyone much idea

No, No, No!

I disagree.

How DARE you suggest that the FORK hierachy should come under SPOONS?

Either:

alt.fan.spoon
alt.fan.fork

with alt.fan.spoon.greasy, alt.fan.fork.greasy 

or how about:

alt.fan.cutlery.greasy 

or

alt.fan.cutlery.spoon.greasy
