If anything needs a vote, this suggestion has mine.

The Board notes that Mr. Prins has also expressed an interest in

MeToo, with the same caveats - in particular I'm pretty low-tech.

A proposal to convert comp.lang.asm.x86 to a moderated group was put
forward in May 1997, due to the group becoming overwhelmed with flames
and off-topic posts.

Whoever the flamers were are long gone; so I'm relaxed about posting
to ala, or to an unmoderated clax, or letting either or both of the

Indeed. The much was cross-posted flames, mostly from what might
be called the lunatic fringe of the assembly world in the direction
of comp.lang.c, because of those damned C pushers who will stop at
nothing to defend their sick religion, or something like that.

Whatever's simplest and most convenient for the current active
posters and not to the exclusion of new posters is the outcome
I favour most.
