- The deafening silence in response to my CFD on APV must mean
- everyone agree with my analysis :).
-
- For those who missed my previous posting on APV. I will recap
- for you.
-
- For approximately two years, we had a mailing list call vietnet
- for Vietnamese. The list grew to almost a thousand names and was
- killing the server. We issued a CFD, then CFV for
- soc.culture.vietnamese (aka SCV) and that went through. While all
- this was happening, we had thought of also issuing a CFD/CFV for
- talk.politics.vietnamese. This is because the amount of postings
- relating to politics in the mailing list sometime grew close to
- 100% and drown out all other discussions. Unfortunately, it fell
- through a crack and no one went through the process for TPV.
-
- SCV has been in existence for over a year and is thriving. The
- problem with political discussions (and flames that went along
- with politics) are also still there and at times overwhelm the
- rest of the newsgroup. We felt that it is time to try the alt.*
- newsgroup and let people move their political discussions there.
-
- I would like to have the newsgroup created as soon as possible
- to move the current political discussions going on SCV off it.
-
- Btw, I appreciate the private comments I received from several
- people. Thank you for your kind feedbacks.
-
- Regards,
- Tin Le
