Lines: 18 I have received votes from 15 sites, with 14/15 supporting the rmgrouping of net.flame. A significant percentage of those 14 are no longer passing net.flame. I see from Rick Adams' message that a significant percentage of the backbone is not going to carry net.flame anymore. Well, it looks like a major reduction in, if not the removal of, net.flame. I just have one suggestion, that no rmgroups be issued on net.flame until a week or so after most machines no longer decide to carry it. If the volume drops to a tolerable level, either the remaining sites that pass it can set up alternate feeds or make local distributions. -- It's like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under.
