So who votes?

Generally, those interested in reading the group should vote "yes". If you
are not planning to use the group, the right thing is to either not vote,
or to write "abstain" on the ballot. If you want a moderated woodworking
group, but feel that the proponent has not fixed any major technical
problems in the proposal, you should vote "no". You shouldn't vote "no" if
you simply have no interest in a moderated woodworking group. It is
complicated, but any news.groups regular will tell you the same thing. The
CFV is an interest poll..to see if there are enough interested parties to
justify creating the new group.

At the end of the CFV, the names/handles of all voters, with e-mail
addresses (munged) and whether they voted "yes", "no", or "abstain" will be
published and posted to all newsgroups on the distribution list. The
results will be posted right here in the wreck.
