RESULTS: sci.philosophy.objectivism

[r.w.stubblefield]

Almost 400 people took the time to express their opinion about
creating sci.philosophy.objectivism for discussion among people who
have a serious interest the philosophy of Objectivism. The vote was
opposed to such a group by 174 to 221. Those in favor are listed
first; those opposed, afterwards.

Since SPO was voted down, I will continue to use sci.philosophy.tech
for my twice weekly philosophical questions and answers--
until I have a better alternative. Many of the no voters indicated
they would have voted yes for a group in another hierarchy, usually
mentioning talk. Some objected to labeling philosophy in general
and Objectivism in particular as science. Others were concerned
about the amount of traffic that might be generated. I wonder if
some of the no voters would support me in an effort to create SPO
as a moderated group with me as a moderator. If anyone has
something polite to say to me about this, please drop me some
e-mail.
