I recently created two new discussion groups, WX-CHASE and SKYWARN, on
the VMD.CSO.UIUC.EDU LISTSERV machine.  These groups are spin-offs of
the popular WX-TALK weather discussion group. 

WX-CHASE was designed as a place for tornado chasers to post their
reports and summaries.  These posts are often quite long 200+ lines
and are not of interest to everyone on WX-TALK.  After receiving
numerous requests to separate the chase summaries from WX-TALK
I created WX-CHASE.  Almost immediately, however, I started getting
requests to gateway the group to NetNews.  

SKYWARN is a brand new group designed to facillitate discussion
and exchange of ideas pertaining to the community warning side of
severe weather.  The SKYWARN program itself is overseen by the
National Weather Service.  The SKYWARN list should help people
who manage SKYWARN groups, act as local community storm spotters,
and people who develop SKYWARN training programs.

I would like to gateway both these groups under .bit.listserv.  I have
received no objections from the WX-TALK group and the LISTSERV
manager said she has no problems with this.

Per the bit/policy file, I am formally asking if there are any
objections to creating these two new NetNews groups.   ..Chris..
