- Hmmm.
- I think we could definitely do better than a simple alt.pub.d, don't
- you. Something which would give a little more feel to it.
-
- I much prefer something like alt.pub.forum or something like that.
- Actually, I have been mulling on this one for a couple of weeks.
- I was going to propose it after my exams.
- Damn, anyway!
-
- How about alt.pub.parliament?
-
- Anything than just another .d group.
-
- Forum!
- Forum!!
- Forum!!!
-
- etc.
-
- But regardless, I support the formation of a discussion group to cover
- all the alt.pubs that do exist or may exist in the future.
