- It DID PASS, people... just not by a wide enough margin to satisfy

- IMHO, anyone who cross-posts an announcement to both c.o.l and c.o.l.a
- is an idiot. c.o.l.a is where EVERYONE will go if they want
- announcements and ANYONE NOT READING IT DOESN'T CARE!! Please,
- c.o.l.a moderator, STOP CROSSPOSTING.
-
- and just because it will irritate someone, here's how I think this
- silly overpopulated group should be split...
-
- comp.os.linux
- comp.os.linux.announce
- comp.os.linux.linus (for Kernel stuff, linus's thing)
- comp.os.linux.questions
- comp.os.linux.x
- comp.os.linux.developers (for discussion of software in the
- works... c.o.l should get only MISC
- postings..)
-
- and just because of the ignorant, and i'm in a viscious mood,
- comp.os.linux.read.the.bloody.FAQ.first
-
- and anyone caught crossposting should be shot. If a Linux guru isn't
- reading comp.os.linux.questions, it's because he thinks you (the
- poster of the stupid question) should go figure it out for yourself
- like the guru-type person did to get to where he is now.) and any
- guru-type nice enough to answer questions would probably read the
- questions group anyway. so bugger off and split this group.
