This is a CALL FOR DISCUSSION of the proposed reorganisation
of eunet.general and eunet.followup.

The proposal is this:

Create a new newsgroup called eunet.misc
Rmgroup eunet.general and eunet.followup.

The reasons for doing so are:

1) It is difficult to follow a discussion that is going on in 2 newsgroups
2) Most of the rest of the world has .misc as opposed to .general
3) Some old news software automatically posts followups from .general to
    the corresponding .followup

There might be a case for just eliminating eunet.general, but as stated in
3) some software couldn't cope with this.

Ok. In precisely 3 weeks time (Friday October the 12th), if all goes
well I shall post a CFV. I might even do it sooner if there aren't any
objections.

Discussion, flamage, general chit chat please?

Dylan.
