Has there been discussion on this?  Hmmmmmmmmm.

->This news group would be for the discussion relating to the XBBS bbs
->software. Also the distribution of utilities, updates, source code,
->and ideas.

->Please mail all votes to one of the address below. They must reach me by
->Nov 27, 1988 to be counted. Please send all YES and NO votes.

I might point out at this time that there was absolutely NO interest to speak
of six months ago for comp.bbs ... mind you, that was before rob and I sent
out alt.bbs, which has a pretty fair amount of traffic.

Therefore, perhaps we should _discuss_ the possibility of comp.bbs in
general.  Personally, I haven't seen many posts about xbbs, so I don't see
how you could justify a newsgroup for it.

->Thank you for your ideas,
