What/who is required to start a triangle.politics newsgroup?

Is this like alt, or is there a proscribed procedure to create a new 
group.  I can see how it would be MOST interesting for the next month 
and then fade until the next elections come around.

All in favor say "Aye"...

I don't know the mechanism either, but a triangle.politics newsgroup
would be timely. I'll sure read it. Net-gods, whoever you are, launch
it on a provisional basis. Only <4 weeks til General Election.
BTW, Sen Terry Sanford enters DUMC soon for open heart surgery. I'm sure
I'm not the only one who wishes him a speedy and uneventful recovery.

We have no fixed procedures for creating triangle newsgroups.
Any news admin that sees a need and is willing to chance the
response can create a group and hope for the best. My policy
has always been that if there appears to be a use for the
group and it doesn't seem (to me) to be controversial, I'll
create it. For anything potentially controversial, I'd suggest
some discussion in triangle.general before anyone jumps in to
create the group.

Since no one has objected to a triangle.politics group, I've
created it. There's clearly some danger of the group turning
into a flame-fest, but I hope everyone will keep the flame
level low in order to keep the group useful. Shouting back
and forth in public won't win your points or impress the
spectators.
