There are at least two other recent instances in my memory where the original alt.* group has been preserved after the creation of a new soc.* group - alt.history.what-if and alt.war.civil.usa - and both alt.* groups continue to receive siginficant numbers of posts and propagation. In fact, I have to say that the alt.war.civil.usa group is personally more interesting to me than soc.history.war.us-civil-war, but that's a different issue. :) OTOH, neither alt.history.what-if nor alt.war.civil.usa had to contend with massive muiltipart binary posts, 900-sex-number ads, or the Pig in all his guises. : It's a shame that a moderated group is needed to allow the interests of : the original group to be served.

I'd think that, assuming everything goes well, the delay will customarily be no longer than a day. This is, I feel sure, one reason why there will be multiple moderators, so that posts can be processed as quickly as possible. : If part of a posting is found unsuitable, will the offending parts be : deleted, or will the entire message be sent back to the author? I'd have to defer to the proponents to answer this question, but my experience is that the whole message is sent back to the poster to be redone. : I look forward to the vote. : Chuck : CA38 -- Joe Admire ([email protected]) ([email protected]) ([email protected]) East Carolina 1985 (Go Pirates!)/GWU JD 1989/legal researcher for hire *Stevie Nicks is _still_ the queen of rock and roll.* Team OS/2 - Frustrated with Windows 3.1 or Windows'95?
