This is just a brief note to thank everyone who participated in the vote to create the USENET groups rec.arts.theatre.misc, rec.arts.theatre.plays, rec.arts.theatre.musicals, and rec. arts.theatre.stagecraft. The groups were officially established on Monday, May 9 and are all showing a pretty good amount of traffic. You are, of course, welcome to participate. For those of you who missed it, here are the one line description of each of the newsgroups: rec.arts.theatre.misc Misc. topics and issues in theatre rec.arts.theatre.musicals Musical theatre around the world rec.arts.theatre.plays Dramaturgy and discussion of plays rec.arts.theatre.stagecraft Issues in stagecraft and production Keep in mind that, at present, none of these groups are gatewayed to mailing lists. In order to access and participate in these groups you will need access to some kind of news server and news reading software, which can probably be obtained from your local system administrator. While I would imagine that it is possible to have the groups gatewayed, I have to admit that I haven't any idea how one would go about establishing such a link. Thanks again for your support!
