- I'm posting this message to each newsgroup Jon posted his proposal to,
- and set followups back to alt.config, since the scattered nature of
- the discussion before suggested that people weren't reading the
- various suggestions in alt.config. Sorry if it seems like I'm
- stepping on your toes, Jon.

- The first is an illegal name; the second component runs longer than 14
- characters. Furthermore, I strongly advise against creating a
- ".types" group under a "personality" hierarchy unless you expect there
- to be demand for other groups dealing with personality study,
- unrelated to Myers-Briggs or other personality testing schemes. So,
- bearing that in mind, I'll still push for alt.psychology.personality.
