Over the last few months, we've rebuilt the newsgroup creation
system to be more flexible, easier for proponents to use, and more
open/ less directly adversarial. This new system is documented at
http://www.big-8.org/ . We hope to see *many* more proposals over the
next few months or years. If you have any ideas for new groups to
create, or old ones to remove, please don't hesitate to contact us and put
together a proposal.

Chair, Big-8 Management Board

Brian, tim is full of ****. it STILL takes 4 months to get a group
created, on average, as we have seen over the past 10 months. two
thirds of the board members are never seen or heard from. the rest
are cluebies. its sad. tim is actually the best of the bunch. he
may be a kook, but at least he participates some.

tim has made mistake after mistake in his tenure as chairman. 90% of
the folks around here think tim is a kook, and the other ten percent,
for the most part, wouldnt know good from bad if you gave them the
choice of white belgian chocolate versus an angry female black widow
spider.
