This is a private, unofficial RFD, in the sense that I'm tired of
the "wouldn't a newsgroup be a good idea" on the pine-info mailing
list.  Here's an RFD, now D.

The group would be unmoderated, cover use and development of the
Pine mail user agent from Washington University, and take over from
[email-masked].  I don't know whether it should be
gated to that list.

If there's any agreement in news.groups that it's a good idea and a
charter is established, I'll ask Ron Dippold to run the vote.  If
nobody cares, I'll unsubscribe to the mailing list and forget it.

This RFD is sent to [email-masked] in addition to the
newsgroups in the header; the CFV should, too.

(Note for pine-info:  RFD's are posted to a moderated group,
news.announce.newsgroups, so the posting won't appear until Dave
Lawrence approves it.  Discussion (the D in RFD) takes place in
news.groups, and if there's agreement on the group name and charter,
a vote takes place.  If you want a group, get on news.groups one of
the next days and say it.)

I'm in favour of a newsgroup. Please pass this on: at the moment my news
is read-only so I can't say so myself (shouldn't be that way, but until I
find out what went wrong in my news setup my posting is to /dev/nul :-(

I just wanted to clear up one minor point.  Actually, we're the 
University of Washington (in Seattle, Washington) not Washington 
University (which is in St. Louis).

	If a newsgroup is established I'd hope (expect) that a di-directional
gate be set up between the newsgroup and [email-masked].
Some of us don't get news.
