I would like to call together a discussion for the creation of
a new newgroup, tentatively called "soc.culture.malaysia"

The proposed group is unmoderated. That is, all who wish to join
may freely do so.

Proposed CHARTER for the proposed group "soc.culture.malaysia" -

   The proposed group, soc.culture.malaysia, is intended for
   the discussion of all topics pertaining to Malaysia, including
   but not limited to: culture, national politics, foreign diplomacy,
   economy, peoples, and land.


Why I feel this newsgroup should be created -

1) The current newsgroup in which most discussion of Malaysia
   occurs is "soc.culture.asean". It seems that most of the
   discussion in this group as a whole pertains to either
   Malaysia or Singapore (which perhaps should have a group) 
   rather than pertaining to ASEAN. This strongly hints that
   a separate group should be created for discussion of Malaysia.

2) Most of the larger countries in Southeast Asia are already represented
   by newsgroups, including:

   soc.culture.filipino
   soc.culture.thai
   soc.culture.vietnamese
   alt.culture.indonesia

   as well as others nearby -

   soc.culture.australia
   soc.culture.bangladesh
   soc.culture.china
   soc.culture.hongkong
   soc.culture.new-zealand 

3) soc.culture.asean, as mentioned in #1 above, no longer has much
   talk about ASEAN as a whole, suggesting the group is no longer
   fulfilling its intended purpose. Perhaps it should be dissolved
   or renamed with a new charter. Anyhow, it now seems an apropriate
   time for soc.culture.malaysia to be created.

NEW GROUP PROPOSED:  soc.culture.british.minorities

STATUS:  unmoderated

CHARTER:  As Great Britain becomes increasingly multicultural, there
is an increasing need for discussion of race relations and the special
concerns of ethnic minorities.  This group is intended to be inclusive
of all perspectives and ethnicities (including the indigenous British)
and will serve as a forum for the examination of the condition and
identity of ethnic minorities in the UK, and the encouragement of
constructive social dialogue across cultural and racial boundaries.

The British USENET community, as a constituent of the "global village"
with a concentration in advanced industry and academia, has a particular
interest in multiculturalism and should find relevance in this newsgroup.
It should be noted that USENET groups exist for individual minority
groups in the United States (soc.culture.african.american,
soc.culture.asian.american), but minority issues in Britain are often
very different from those in America.  This proposal therefore should
be considered on its own merits rather than as a derivative of the
American approach.

If appropriate, a CFV will take place 30 days after the posting date
of this proposed newsgroup.

I would like to post any e-mail coming to a particular address to a a  
particular news-group.  Optimally, I would like to have the e-mail subject  
transferred to the news article subject as well.

Is this possible?

Is there a script or program or something that somebody has written that  
will do it for me?

Thanks for any and all help - I will post the results.

Please e-mail any help to:

Although it doesn't say so here, I've also had luck sending to simply
"user@site.bitnet" -- in your case, "klarinet@vccscent.bitnet".  I'd
try this first and see if it works for you.

I don't have telnet availability due to a firewall, but any info would

How do I go about setting up my newsreader (TIN) so that I  don't have
to read crossposted messages more than once?

If a message is posted to sci.aeronautics.*, I  get to see it about 5
times.  Yes, the 'n' key is close by, but is there a way to do this
automatically?

Since the header contains the information on which newsgroups a message
is posted to, can that be used somehow to say "seen it, read it" and
not bother me with it?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

I don't know if I'm understanding you, but maybe
it helps you 'set query=any' in nslookup.

there is no information out there because it is so new. If anyone has

Well, Prodigy is still net.inaccessible, as far as I've last read (here),
so if anyone has any new info, they can correct me.

To mail to compuserv, just use your recepient's compuserv account number,
substituting a period for the comma, like this: 12345.678@compuserve.com.

Hope this helps.

In Elm, twiddle with ~/.elm/elmheaders.  You're more likely to get the
results you want that way.  Add a From: line with the real name that
you want.  Depending on your MTA's configuration, this usually works.

This must be an FAQ for the Elm people.

[Stuff deleted]

There is alt.sustainable.agriculture but I haven't noticed a group for
ordinary agriculture :)

The problem that the net has throughout is that it is dominated by computer
types.  The result is that discussions in many of the specialist groups
outside the straight computer stuff, tend to be overburdened with opinions
rather than facts, and the opinions tend to be those based on ignorance.

No doubt the situation will improve as awareness increases among other
professionals as to what the net can offer them.  One lives in hope.
