Internet Vote

Robert Siegel talks with Dave Lawrence, moderator for the Internet discussion group news.announce.newgroups about the midnight deadline for approving a new group focusing on white-power music. As an e-mail campaign rages to stop the creation of this new group, Lawrence explains that this isn't the first such campaign, and won't be the biggest one he's seen. If groups want to avoid a vote of approval, they would merely join the alternative discussion areas for the Internet. But this, according to the proponent of the white-power music group, would mean being relegated to the "fringe" of the Internet.
