- John, if you had of read the post, Tim was refering to
- news.announce.newgroups. Not exactly a high volume newsgroup.

-
- This is only cliamed so far by one person. Just because people keep
- following up on the same subject line doesn't make it true.
-
- >Who ever did it should admit they made a mistake and just be done with it.
-
- Whoever did it followed the only rules that exist on how to do it
- correctly. If the rules need changing, that hardly calls for an apology
- by the vote taker.
- As a small data point, the last time something like this happened,
- didn't the person who missed a reorganisation vote, and fought to get an
- old group name back later post an article admitting that they might have
- made a mistake?
-
- Personally, I think every group on the net should be under the
- manga.* hierarchy, as manga encompases everything, and therefore all
- groups are badly placed. Stay tuned for the manga.windows.* re-org,
- coming soon.
