I have gotten a fair amount of e-mail asking "So why don't you start a
RFD or RFV for comp.lang.basic.
Sure, a lot of people (me included) get enough out of alt.lang.basic, but
some places don't get alt groups, and there's also a principle involved here
(that a major programming language is kept out of the comp.lang hierarchy).

With some of the negative comments about basic a few posts back, something
tells me that a lot of basic trashers would come out of the woodwork and
vote down comp.sys.basic.

Surely a vote has been tried before?  Does anyone know the results?
