Well, I'm obviously disappointed that the ballot for misc.metric-system
failed. There was clealy some interest in the group, but not enough to
fullfil the requirements of creating a new Big8 newsgroup. If around 50
more people had voted, we might have made it.
Options:
a) we can try to set up alt.metric-system instead
b) we can try misc.metric-system again in 6 months with a more
significant effort to get people interested
c) we can drop the idea (and consider newsgroups a thing of the past)
The full ballot result is on

If any of you did vote YES but your email address is not listed correctly
in the result report, please let me know TODAY, with a cc: to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
