- This proposal (or at least this interpretation) should be excluded,
- since soc.bi is *NOT* participating in the reorganization, and
- has not shown any interest in doing so.
-
- This is not to say that a bi-inclusive view of the charter of soc.motss.*
- or whatever, is unwelcome. I see little reason for exclusive seperatism
- in this context, and bisexuals do presently participate in soc.motss.
-
- At the same time soc.bi is doing quite well (in a sometimes fluffy,
- *hug*-filled way) as a seperate electronic "community". I see no
- reason to mix it up with the motss reorganization other than to
- satisfy orthogonal-namespace queens. (Even if the root name changes
- to soc.lesbigay or soc.queer.)
-
- You may say I want to have it both ways -- well that's what being bi
- is about, isn't it! <grin>
