$ Although there was a simple majory for csn.richposts
$ there was NOT the requisite 2-to-1 majority.  The USENET guidelines  
state:
$ "3)AFTER the waiting period, and if there were no serious  
objections that  
$ might invalidate the vote, and if 100 more valid YES/create votes  
are  
$ received than NO/don't create AND at least 2/3 of the total number  
of  
$ valid votes received are in favor of creation, a newgroup control  
message  
$ may be sent out.  If the 100 vote margin or 2/3 percentage is not  
met, the  
$ group should not be created."
