Apologies to anyone whom I offended by submitting the preceding article to net.db instead of net.db.d. --Charlie Harris, Bell Labs, Murray Hill (rabbit!xchar)

My apologies to Charlie Harris (alice!xchar), but net.db is an active news group on alice and I did not revive it. It seemed, and still seems, the most appropriate place for the article to the extent that the article is appropriate anywhere. I thought it would be a fresh air for those bored with Big Macs, TP, and net.singles.ages, not to mention the (thank God) abortive attempt of floyd!jce to start a discussion of hat sizes. Let's hear it for net.db. Proud to sign my name alice!rhm

References: alice.1071 I agree, lets move all dead disscussions to net.db. But is that enough? Perhaps we should go even farther; I think all talk about the Grateful Dead should be moved here. And, even though I would be the last to say its a dead subject, all talk on Data Base technology. Yes that's right, 4 subject for the price of one. So, if everone agrees, net.db will now contain: dead baby jokes discusions on anything dead discusions on the Grateful Dead and discussions on Data Base technology. long live net.db Andy Schnable (ihuxo!schnable) (312) 979-2680
