- OK, I'm one of those people that has remained silent until now. I'm
- AGAINST this. I wasn't going to worry about it until a formal discussion
- and vote through news.groups.
-
- I'm for sensible namespace splits (and I don't think this is regardless
- of the following...), but I really enjoy the international
- flavor of some of these threads. Will an aus. group (this is on an
- Australian backbone?) get gatewayed to a rec.aus. group? It would
- really be ahsame if this would make the discussions about railroads
- down under inaccessable to us in North America.
