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.. 

Helen
