No.  If somebody thought it was good enough to be the *BEST* of, then it should
not be up to the moderator to veto this.  Signal volume is not exactly huge on
alt.best.of.internet

No.  Some of the best *ARE* the best because of their exquisitely poor taste
and lack of ettiquite (sp?).  :-^

I seriously believe that the moderator should only reject the articles that are
cross-posted, followups, and originals.  The former two could presumably be
programmed automagically by a unix guru, and the latter might even be possible
if a standard submission of headers and original headers that was not too
cumbersome for posters.

In fact, alt.guitar.bass is actually serving the upright bass community
as well as the electric bass guitar folks despite the impresssion the
name gives. Upright bass people and electric bass people are, in a good
50% of the cases, the same people, so I think that they'll be able to
share the newsgroup very comfortably. We can always skip over a few
articles; it's much easier than coping with two newsgroups with very
similar threads.
Alt.guitar.bass has both a charter, which is essentially the one given
above though somewhat more verbose, and a FAQ which was last posted on
9-3-92. It was not crossposted to news.answers for the simple reason that
I don't know how to do that... If you can get alt.guitar.bass you can
still dig it out, or if enough people can't do that I can post it to
news.answers on request.
I support all of the proposed changes, especially proposal B (since I'm
a bass player: upright and electric both).

Is there a problem with discussing the FRP (the proper hierarchy for this -
RPG is a BOGUS group) aspects of this game in rec.games.frp.misc, and
discussing the board game aspects of the game in rec.games.board?

Postings about the "tactical" game for ADND (Battlesystem) takes place
elsewhere, while the "roleplaying" portion of the game takes place in
rec.games.frp.dnd.  I don't see why the roleplaying and board sections
HAVE to be together.

This is my solution - put the elements in the proper place - if you have
a real ROLEPLAYING idea or question - post to rec.games.frp.misc.
If it is related to the board or "rock 'em sock'em robots" portion, post
to rec.games.board.

You go through a discussion period in alt.config to make sure that you

I simply disagree. A vote taker making such comments even before

That's why rec.music.makers.marketplace seems to make the most sense to me,
since it perfectly conveys that anything involved in the creation of music
is fair game, while pretty clearly excluding selling CDs, concert tickets, etc.

Actually, if anything, it should be MISC.ACTIVISM.BOYCOTTS with a

This is what people said about MISC.ACTIVISM.PROGRESSIVE. And you know what?
We were wrong. 

Kinda. The Net continued - System Administrators simply decided to ignore
the group. It therefore has one of the most consistant lowest-ratings on
Reid's propagation statistics. Nobody carries it.

More dangerous to the net now is that certain moderators of that newsgroup
have gotten perturbed at their low-volume propagation (guess nobody really
wanted to listen to them anyway, despite their ballot-box stuffing attempt)
and have decided to start re-posting (not cross-posting) articles from
MAP into other "appropriate" newsgroups.

Since, clearly, MAP has failed to reduce the amount of duplicate postings,
is hardly a "central repository for information for activists" (after all,
how 'centralized' can it be if its posted to 4 other newsgroups?)
clearly this group has failed.

I therefore issue a RFD for the purpose of RMGROUPing 
MISC.ACTIVISM.PROGRESSIVE.

Watch the ants run out of the anthill now...

I think you should choose another name for the group. Even though I
well know that Quakers are really called the Society of Friends, I
would never have connected the name "soc.religion.friends" with them.

"soc.religion.quaker" would be much better. Or is the term "Quaker"
seen as derogative?

I'd appreciate feedback from people with definitive knowledge about

groups seem to show activity.

Please email feedback and I will post a summary.

rec.games.frp and rec.sport.football seem to have become hierarchies,
but there is still a fair amount of traffic in the root newsgroups; have
they indeed been officially deleted?

Thanks in advance,

That should work quite well if the list gets circulated and people post

Nntp-Posting-User: f67700241

This is an unofficial RFD (Request for Discussion) for a new newsgroup,
comp.os.drdos, dedicated to discussion of the MS-DOS-compatible operating
system DR DOS and its relatives (e.g., Concurrent DOS) produced by Novell
Desktop Systems Group.

STATUS:

Unmoderated.

RATIONALE:

A separate newsgroup from that of the MS-DOS groups is needed for a few
good reasons.

1) DR DOS includes many system utilities (SuperStor, Super PC Kwik,
FILELINK) that are not included in MS DOS.  Configuring and optimizing
these utilities is a proper topic for a DR DOS newsgroup, not necessarily
for an MS-DOS group.

2) DR DOS's batch programming language differs in many ways from MS-DOS's.

3) DR DOS's memory management tools differ fundamentally from those of
MS-DOS, affecting the way DR DOS users configure MS-Windows and load TSRs
high, among other things.

4) Novell (DR DOS's owner) is planning to strongly link its Netware
network OS to future releases of DR DOS.  Discussion of these plans
properly belongs in a DR DOS group.

5) Compatibility questions (why one program runs under MS-DOS but not
DR-DOS, or vice versa) pop up frequently.  comp.os.drdos is where these
kinds of questions could go.

I believe that support exists for the creation of comp.os.drdos.  Countless
questions about DR DOS have been posted over the past year to the MS-DOS
newsgroups on Usenet.  What's more, the BBS-based RIME network has a
dedicated DR DOS conference that has received consistent, useful traffic.

I'm not a sysadmin, and my site is poorly equipped for running a newsgroup
vote.  That's why I made this RFD unofficial; I hope that someone with
experience running these kinds of votes can manage the nitty-gritty of
crossposting to the appropriate subgroups, calling for votes, and counting
them up.  If you can help, please let me know via email.  That way, an
official RFD can take place as soon as possible.

All discussion of the need/name/whatever for comp.os.drdos should take
place in news.groups.

BTW, I have no affiliation with Novell Desktop Systems Group.

Rich, this will totally trash my Usenet-to-BITNet gateway and make many people
very ticked. It is not so simple for a robot to decide to read different news-
groupsi -  I handle my mailing list from a remote site which is kind enough to
provide this service; I'd prefer not to have to keep watching for it to break 
and then beg the remote administrator to fix it for me (I can't - I have no
access to the remote system other than as listowner).

I have added rec.music.synth to the "Newsgroups:" so that folks who	
use my mailing list can affirm that this would disrupt their only means of
access to rec.music.synth. Please leave it alone.

Can you provide some sort of support for this?  How about a listing of as many
articles, over as many groups (discounting cross-postings) as you can find.  I
really do not think this newsgroup is warrented, based on the amount of postings
it generates in some of the newsgroups I read (or maybe I'm getting this one
