Over 300 "anal retentive #$%#@^%^" (as you put it) voted to split
misc.forsale.computers compared to less than 150 voting no.

The Request For Discussion (RFD), Call For Votes (CFV) and results were posted
to misc.forsale.computers. The newgroup messages were sent out October 19th
and the rmgroup message was sent out on the 18th of this month. All according
to the guidelines.

Obviously you couldn't to be bothered to join into the discussion or to vote.
BTW, I didn't vote because I didn't care one way or the other. And before
you go off in another direction, there are several thousand people who read
misc.forsale.computers they also had the chance to discuss and vote on the
split.

If you want to be heard - speakup.
If you want your vote to count - use it or lose it.
