From harpo!vortex!lauren Thu Nov 18 23:32:21 1982 Date: Wed Nov 17 1982 21:23:50 PST From: lauren (Lauren Weinstein) Subject: info-atari To: harpo!cbosgd!mark Greetings. Arpanet's INFO-MICRO has recently been flooded with unwanted mail regarding the Atari and other similar computers. Apparently a subgroup of info-micro (.atari?) is feeding into the same gateway mechanism that feeds the basic info-micro newsgroup. Do you have any idea where this is coming from? Can you find someone who can stop it? The atari newsgroup should actually feed to INFO-ATARI@SU-SCORE. Thanks. --Lauren-- Apparently what's happening is that net.micro is forwarded to info-micro, and since net.micro matches net.micro.all, all the half dozen subgroups (net.micro.atari, net.micro.pc, net.micro.68k, etc) also get forwarded. Would whoever is responsible for the gateway please fix it, and also drop me a note so I know where the gateway is? Thanks. Mark
