Subject: Vote for rec.sport.sumo

I am presently working on writing a proposal for rec.games.shogi
newsgroup. (Unless someone objects.)

Since, 100 YES votes minimum are required, plus 2/3 majority of YES
over NO, some campaigning may be required to successfully get the group
started.  That's why I think everyone on this list should vote YES on
the related newsgroup rec.sport.sumo.  Sumo is a popular Japanese
sport.  If we show support for sumo, maybe they will vote for shogi.
Voting on sumo continues until February 5.

HOW TO VOTE:

Send E-MAIL (posts to a newsgroup are invalid) to:

    sumo-vote <at> sub-rosa <dot> com

This is an automated vote-taker. You will be notified if your vote was
successfully received.  Your mail message should contain one and only
one of the following vote statements:

    I vote YES on rec.sport.sumo
    I vote NO on rec.sport.sumo

You may also vote ABSTAIN or CANCEL but these are not counted as valid
votes for the total count.

If your mail software does not indicate your real name, please also
include the following statement and add your name (on the same line).
