This is a call for votes for the newsgroup
talk.philosophy.objectivism. This newsgroup would exist for
discussion of Objectivism, the philosophy of Ayn Rand, and
related topics.

The call for discussion was posted on January 13; significant
discussion occured. There were two major points:

The original call for discussion was for a moderated group; very
few people wanted a moderated group, so I abandoned that idea.

The next topic was whether to put the group in sci rather than
talk. While the pro-sci individuals wrote a lot of stuff in
news.group and appeared, on the basis of volume, to be the
dominant opinion, the results of a poll I ran contradicted that.

In spite of that, the pro-sci individuals are still pressing for
sci.philosophy.objectivism. They will have to run their own vote;
I will not attempt to run a vote counter to the already expressed
preferences.

To vote for creation of the newsgroup, send e-mail to:

tpo...@twwells.com

To vote against creation of the newsgroup, send e-mail to:

tpo...@twwells.com

If you have trouble with the above addresses, try the following:

tpo-yes%twwel...@uunet.uu.net
tpo-no%twwel...@uunet.uu.net

or, for those who can't use domain names at all:

uunet!twwells!tpo-yes
uunet!twwells!tpo-no

I will accept votes sent to my personal mailbox, including
replies to this posting; but I'd really prefer it if you didn't
do that. It makes work for me and adds the possibility that I'll
misfile your vote.

I do not acknowledge votes individually; that is not very
reliable. Instead, I will post, on news.announce.newgroups, a list
of the people whose votes I've received (but not their votes)
along with the repeats of the call for votes.

I will issue a repeat call for votes in about two weeks and again
in early March.

The vote will run until March 9, 1990.
