Jim, try also MATHRICH@UMCVMB.MISSOURI.EDU ; if that fails to,
I'll forward your vote to Rich.

While I'm at it (replying), let me try to influence your vote (-:

First, are you aware that this is "approval voting" so you list
all the "acceptable" names, in particular you can list more than one
name?

Also, misc.activism.progressive is not a name that I'm really opposed
to, but are you aware, on a more minor point, that should that name be
adopted, the "subgroups" would have to be rather long, as in
misc.activism.progressive.mid-east
misc.activism.progressive.cent-am
etc?

That's why I lean more towards misc.progressive.general
(and more so towards misc.progressive.clearinghouse), which, granted,
don't say "activism" but that's because the the "there are
fundamentalist/right-wing activists too" (true, but that's not what
"activism" means in most of ordinary conversation); so another
possibility is the "peace" group of names.

e.g.

misc.peace.general
misc.peace.clearinghouse

would give us

misc.peace.mid-east
and the not so bad (IMO)
misc.peace.eco(logy)   [give the Earth some peace!]

and "justice" is another possibility...

You can of course decide to stick with just your original vote...

best wishes

Harel

   I'm trying to vote for "misc.activism.progressive", but
   my mail to mathrich@umcvmb.bitnet bounces. The mail to
   peter@taronga.hackercorp.com went okay.  He suggested
   I send my vote to you, and ask if you could forward it.
   Is that okay?

   Anyway, I like the "misc.activism.progressive" name
