At this point, I've about had it with wading thru all of the
articles about net.internat-- all of the arguing over points big and
small isn't getting anything anywhere.  I think a group about
internationalisation would be very useful-- if all this hoohah has
done anything, I think it's certainly demonstrated that there is
plenty of INITIAL interest.  I like the proposal that Mr. Spafford
has put forward-- including the name.  I think a moderated newsgroup
would be more appropriate to a technical discussion to help cut down
on redundancy and garbage, something that is particularly important
for a group being distributed worldwide; the arguments about moderators
destroying a group don't seem to hold a whole lot of water since one
can always post gripes about moderator behavior elsewhere.
(net.news.group would probably be one place to consider in such a case)

It would certainly be awfully nice (and rather surprising) if future
arguments about such a group were confined to criticisms of this proposal,
and examination of any reasonable alternatives that might be suggested by
people.
