Hi all,

	Misc.forsale.computers.other has passed its vote.  The group
	is intended to capture posts of computer related items which
	do not fit into the other groups; ie printers, storage devices,
	modems, and software.  

	The original vote proposed groups specific to most miscellaneous
	items (ie printers), and all scored over 60% acceptance, but
	not the required 2/3 majority.  As the three hardware groups 
	(pc-clone, mac, and workstation) each have as their charter
	"for computer systems based upon xyz", please DO NOT post 
	these items into the hardware related groups and DO NOT 
	CROSS POST.  The reason for the split was to create 
	distinct forums and posting/crossposting would defeat 
	the idea (which was passed by over 2/3 majority).  I know
	that this leaves 1/3 whom may not be happy with the new 
	groupings, but I can only ask those who were against make
	the best of the new situation that they can and to be courteous
	to the majority who voted in favor.  

	Finally, at somepoint in early January, misc.forsale.computers
	as such will cease to exist.  The reason for the lag in the
	deletion is to provide a smooth transition into the new
	hierarchy:

		misc.forsale.computers.pc-clone
				      .mac
				      .workstation
				      .other
				      .d

	I'd like to thank everybody who took time to vote, and lets
	hope everything works out as was intended.

Thanks,

	Mike
