er...no...this is a request for discussion, not a call for votes.
If you have something to SAY about it, please do so, but don't just respond
to it (with no text).
Oh, and be nice to news.groups and don't top post. They bottom post over
there, unlike here.

Just to clarify (as we've already had one content-less post) - this is
*not* the vote. Please don't reply to this thread *just* because you
want the group. The vote comes later (and isn't conducted on the group
itself).
This thread is for *discussion* of the proposal, not for head-counting.

This is a dusccusion period, designed to improve the proposal (if any
are needed). A post saying this is a good idea means little, a formal
vote is/might be held later (at the proponent(s) choosen). Discusion
about why you consider the proposed group can be useful as well.
During the RFD period discussion certainly can include campaigning to
gather votes, dabates can be useful and indirectly also improve the
proposed group's charter, justification, chances of passing its vote.

Had you actually read the entire RFD it would have been as clear as crystal.
Here is the relevant part for your edification:
PROCEDURE:
This is a request for discussion, not a call for votes. In this phase
of the process, any potential problems with the proposed newsgroups
should be raised and resolved. The discussion period will continue
for a minimum of 21 days (starting from when the first RFD for this
proposal is posted to news.announce.newgroups), after which a Call For
Votes (CFV) will be posted by a neutral vote taker. Please do not
attempt to vote until this happens.
All discussion of this proposal should be posted to news.groups.

No doubt - what I read was the "please reply" bit. If it has "please reply if
you have something to say" then I might not have replied.
