   The mod was "glad to oblige" and reject my post below, so in keeping   
   with the OM theme I've turned the mod off!  Let me know if it meets   
   with your approval.  :-)   
      
   On news.groups.proposals "Steve Bonine"  wrote in message

   I can't imagine the charter could possibly preclude discussion   
   of hypothetical expansion of the Big 8 to Big 9.  The problem is   
   "cultural differences" to put it politely, and I think the feeling is   
   mutual.  If I was satisfied that my proposed "OM hierarachy" and   
   the Big 8's "9th Hierarchy" were potentially compatible then the   
   new hierarchy being alluded to both ways would be no problem.   
      
     "It's the Optional Moderation or om.* hierarchy, a.k.a. the   
     the 9th Hierarchy addition to what was the Big 8, now the   
     Big 9."   
      
   There, naming solved, any charter issue solved, and off we   
   could go.  Another way to look at it might be a joint venture,   
   where this group and the Big 8 Board, and other hierarchies,   
   and any other individuals and organizations interested can all   
   provide input, whether it's isc.org, Brad Templeton or Bloxy.   
      
   For 200+ posts here it was on-topic.  Why it's suddenly "not   
   on topic under the charter," and what was basically a thank   
   you post a while back got rejected, and I fully expect this   
   post to be rejected on that basis too, just speaks to the lack   
   of Big Picture Vision on news.groups.proposals.  I'll return   
   you (silently!) to your regularly scheduled smallthink.  Like   
   this here:   
      
   > Brad's essay may be insightful, but it does not describe   
   > something that could be implemented within the structure   
   > of the big-8.   
      
   So it could change Usenet or bring about a New Usenet,   
   which would almost certainly impact the Big 8, but only   
   smallthink "within the structure" is relevant.  Got it!
