I have send a message proposing the creation of a new newsgroup to the admin folks at all of the following locally based Internet providers on Vancouver Island ... I would like the newsgroup to be for the purpose of an Island wise buy sell and trade group.. and have proposed that it be called vanisle.4sale the other option is to make 2 groups.. one for computer buy and sell and one for misc. buy and sell.. I sent the note to admins or help desks at all of the following providers.. Pacificcoast, Coastnet, Islandnet, Island Internet, Digital Ark, Alberni Net, Power River Community Net, Mount Arrowsmith community net, Online, Inetex, Nisa Net, Capescott Net, and the Victoria Community Net. If you know of another island provider who is not on this list, please let me know so that I can approach them as well, and then, once we get the locally based providers online, we could approach the bigger providers.. apparently you can set up the software to distribute a group only to specific feeds, so with a bit of fussing it should be possible to restrict to island users... or at least to keep it from going to Texas :):) If you would like to support this effort you could just reply to this note indicating your agreement, and tell your friends, ask them to drop an email note to the admin or helpdesk folks at their isp..
