- This thread was crossposted. The person responding in defense of pop wasn't
- a reader of alt.lang.basic. We all have our preferences. alt.lang.basic
- isn't a comp. group because nobody has attempted to go through the procedure
- to create comp.lang.basic. There is no secret cabal controlling newsgroup
- creation. If you want a comp.lang.basic, follow news.groups and learn about
- the process necessary to create it. I'll vote for it. If you haven't
- tried to create one, don't post nasty messages to other newsgroups that
- haven't gone out of their way to harrass you. Thanks so much.

- This should be the last message crossposted on this subject. Followups
