	Hi!  I've recently started a mailing list called "Computers and
Society" and had much more of an enthusiastic turnout than I expected!!
(over 150 subscribers in the first two weeks!!)

	To avoid my being executed for monopolizing the communications
lines here in Fort Collins, I'd like to propose that I gateway the 
digests into a NEW notes group called 

	mod.comp-society
	mod.cas
	mod.comp-soc
	mod.c-and-society

	(or something else - vote on your favorite!)

Anyway, if we decide to do this (and perhaps even if not) the machine 
that I'm posting on, hpcnof (Hewlett Packard, Colorado Networks Operation)
will be soon connecting directly to gatech (thanks to Gene Spaffords 
generous offer!) so that the propagation times should be about 2 to 3
days from my original posting to being "out in the real world".

	(Why mention that?  Because currently the propagation delay to
get notes out of HP is terrible - at least 7 days - and that would be
too much of a time delay for the digest.)

	What I'd like to hear is what people think of YANG (Yet Another
News Group), and, if you like it, suggestions on a decent name.

		Thanks!
