I'm the one that newgroup'd alt.lang.basic, and I'm getting ready to post an RFD for comp.os.ms-windows.visual-basic as it is, and I've already run one usenet newsgroup ballot, so I guess I'll take this one on. Lemme cobble together an RFD and we'll see what we can do about it. One word of warning: when comp.lang.basic passes, we won't be able to get rid of alt.lang.basic, Mr. Bruce Becker will send out "newgroup" messages to negate any "rmgroup" messages for alt.lang.basic.
