Results of alt.sources renaming poll

[David C Lawrence]

It's been roughly a week since I called for the poll and the results
are in.  I'm quite happy with the turn-out -- it even went into double
digits, which is something I was not expecting.  Here are the votes
and how they voted.

alt.source-code:
        Rich Salz       <rsalz at bbn.com>
        William Lewis   <wiml at blake.acs.washington.edu>
        Brandon Allbery <allbery at NCoast.ORG>
        Kyle Jones      <kjones%talos.UUCP at uunet.uu.net>
        Dave Lawrence   <tale at rpi.edu>
alt.source.code:
        Raymond Chen    <raymond at math.berkeley.edu>
        Dave Tutelman   <dmt%pegasus.UUCP at att.att.com>
        Paul Meyer      <pem at cadnetix.com>
alt.source-code.only:
        Roy Silvernail  <roy%comcon.UUCP at uunet.uu.net>
        Tim Bell        <bellt at boulder.colorado.edu>
alt.sources.only:
        Tom Neff        <tneff at bfmny0.uu.net>
alt.source.programs:
        Jay Maynard     <jay at splut.conmicro.com>
alt.source-code.damnit:
        Paul Sutcliffe  <paul at devon.lns.pa.us>
alt.sources: (aka alt.leave.it.the.hell.alone)
        Wayne Mesard    <mesard at wilma.bbn.com>
        Karl F Fox      <karl at morningstar.com>
        Nick Holloway   <alfie at cs.warwick.ac.uk>
        William Barr    <barr at caen.engin.umich.edu>

Two people handed two names, which I filed under the one that appeared
first in their messages because eveything else seemed equal.  One other
also commented that he was strongly opposed to anything.only.  My
personal favourite for clarity is alt.source-code.only, but it's long
and I understand why people would be more opposed to that then some
other name.

The poll seems to indicate that people are willing to try the name
change; it leans toward alt.source[-.]code.  Unless someone has major
problems with this, I think an rmgroup for alt.sources and a newgroup
for alt.source-code should appear in about a week.

Thanks to all who took the time to reply.

Dave
