Wouldn't something like net.international be > more appropriate for what you wish to discuss? How about net.asia? Or net.nlang.asia? I realize some may consider this TOO general from the original proposal, but let's gather a bunch of little things together first. The net.india seems to have a following but what about all the other Asian cultures? This makes sense because they are usually thought of as similiar, (and here's a place to learn about differences, too) and could take in other discussions. net.politics and net.religion are overwhelmed by Western predisposition. Net.nlang.asia would something of a "net.Eastern". What do you think? -- Gordon A. Moffett ...!{ihnp4,hplabs,sun}!amdahl!gam
