I suggest that as a first step in the process of making alt.whistleblowers a reality, that we kick around the idea for a while, either here or on alt.config. If I receive a positive response, I will post the control message myself. Three possible choices of action: 1) Kick it around on alt.config. 2) Kick it around on news.groups, etc. 3) Kick it around here. 4) Don't even bother kicking it around; just create the group, and hell with anyone who doesn't like it. So, what's the general consensus on the best course of action? And, yes, I know that was four, and not three possible choices; it's probably really eight or ten. ---- Robert W.

We're sposed to be anarchists right? :) 'sides alt.* groups come out daily with little or no discussion. Ours wont rock boats, at least in it's creation, the content is a different story. Personally I hope it doesnt degenrate into a narc fest for people who have grudges against people... that would be sad.. I vote to just make it. Not all will like it, but then they are maybe the ones who will feature in it (great way to shut them up :). Mark mark@coombs.anu.edu.au

Couldn't hurt to mention it in alt.config. It would probably get a good response, and get propagated more widely (some newsadmins are a bit skeptical about newgroups from out of the blue...)
