Subject: MANGA STRAW POLL:  rec.arts.manga wins 98 - 51.
Date: 16 Apr 92 07:01:43 GMT
Article-I.D.: usenet.1992Apr16.070143.5748
Organization: Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio, (USA)


Finally - the results of the rec.*.manga straw poll!
 
A total of 161 votes were received.  11 of these were duplicates, and
  discarded.  One vote was invalid.  This leaves 149 valid votes.
 
91 votes for  rec.arts.manga
58 votes for  rec.arts.comics.manga
 
CONCLUSIONS:
  By a weak majority (61%) the USENet readers would rather see
  r.a.manga over r.a.comics.manga.
 
  Discussion on the naming issue has been very heavy over the past
  week (most of the time DOMINATING news.groups).  This straw poll
  clearly indicates that there is support for a rec.*.manga group
  of some sort - if only we could resolve the issue of the name.
  Hopefully this straw poll will help in doing so.
 
Following is a mass ack for all votes received:
