A new newsgroup "misc.headlines" has been created.  This is for
discussion of current events.  Recent events that would have
been appropriate for this newsgroup include New vs Old Coke,
Libya/terrorism, the invasion of Grenada, etc.

The names misc.headlines and talk.headlines were both considered.
In many ways, we expect this to be a talk newsgroup.  However, we
felt it would be best to give everyone on Usenet access to this
newsgroup, so that such discussions would not spill over onto
other newsgroups.

I urge that future discussions of current events be carried out
in misc.headlines ONLY.  If such discussions turn up in other
newsgroups, or if volume in misc.headlines is excessive, the
group could easily be moved to talk.headlines.

If the newsgroup does not make it to your area, ask your netnews
administrator to first check that "misc" is reaching you, and
then to create it locally.
