Re: future of {net,fa}.space
After watching about 30 people (so far) vote for dropping fa.space
and only 5 people voting to keep it, I wonder if these people are
really clear on what happens if we drop fa.space.
To clear up any misconception, fa.space is not just a digestified net.space
(as some people commented). fa.space := digest((net.space) + (ARPA space)) !!
I am not sure how net.columbia gets into the picture. Maybe it too has
been fed into that magic ARPA digest from which fa.space comes.
That makes the equation:
fa.space := digest((net.space) + (net.columbia) + (ARPA space))
I, for one, like seeing what EVERYONE has to say on space-related issues --
including people on the ARPA net (even though I can't mail directly
to them!). I vote to at least keep fa.space and the mechanism that
allows me to submit to it (although I have not taken advantage of
that connection yet).
If anyone out there voted for net.space only because you thought that
fa.space := digest( net.space ), please make yourself known.
Mark (or whoever), if I'm wrong on my assumptions, please help clear
this up for me, o.k.? And, don't take any action until everyone has
had a second chance to vote.
