Re: computer-go: Call for votes for a German language go newsgroup

[Joirin Couwe <bugathlon@xxxxxxxxx>]

ADMIN NOTE:  I'm not sure this got posted; sorry if I overlooked it.
             

I'll just note that of course you should have your own
group. Consider countries like Finland or Sweden. Both
have own newsgroups which are used (maybe traffic is
not so high, but every once in a while there will be
somebody asking "What is this...).

Karten gives me feeling about a map, brett tells
nothing. So I'd suggest plain rec.spiele.go.
