My fellow Australians,

In case you haven't seen it, someone has proposed a "aus.arts.anime"
newsgroup, for anime in Australia. I've attached the call for votes.

One of my votes didn't get a response which is odd cause I only used that
domain once.

You should be able to ask them to add it. I would think that Telstra
would add it.

No it isn't! The whole was started by a couple of fans. That's it! They
weren't rich, they just a fansubbing thing going and they took it pro.
Got regoed and petitioned for a job.

No.

They don't eat anything as I know them! They just kill!

I was agreeing with you. I was just pointing out that "a few fans" is an
understatement when it comes to ADV's founding.

You know that Matt and Dave are the one's who started it right? Those two!
As few really means 3 that would mean that I overstated the case.

Whatever happened to the original topic? When are we going to know if the
newsgroup succeeded?
