votes are for. Those who believe that the proposal would have a
detrimental effect on a group they read are entitled to vote no. Those
who don't care about that are entitled to vote yes.

Strictly speaking, those who are not interested in such a group and would
not take part in it, should not vote.

They should *IF* they think it will have a detrimental effect, either
on usenet as a whole (unlikely in this case), or on other specific
groups they read (likely in this case).

It isn't just a question of whether they intend reading the group, but
whether it will affect their usenet experience.
