Thanks for the invitation.
I haven't followed the history of the attempt to to establish
comp.lang.basic as a newsgroup. However, Pop advocates followed the
netiquette guidelines and got adequate support, largely drawn from the UK.
I am astonished that the advocates of Basic didn't find the same level of
support. I certainly would have voted for it. I guess Basic is just
more obscure than Pop these days.
Better luck next time.
