The Creation of HPO - CFV Period

The links below are to archives of Usenet postings related to the creation of the newsgroup humanities.philosophy.objectivism. For information on how these links are organized, see the Introduction.

In keeping with the standard procedures for group creation at the time, a Call For Votes (CFV) was issued once an appropriate amount of discussion time was allowed. As is noted in the Introduction, the posting of the CFV spawned a flame-thread that has not been included here.
