If tale and group-advice are indeed lying and forcing .misc, stating so IN PUBLIC seems to be a proven way to make them back down (I'm thinking of soc.women.lesbian-and-bi, which was the victim of an attempt to inappropriately tack .misc onto the parent group, and which ended up without that insanely stupid modification.) >Wanna take on tale and company? Go ahead. To me, the principles involved >in fighting them on this issue just ain't worth it. If the only reason you're doing .misc is because tale and group-advice favor it, you will attract more negative votes than you would otherwise. It might be the difference between a failed or successful vote. ____ david parsons \bi/ [email protected]^H^Hchi.il.us \/ Follow-Ups:
