If David DiGiacomo doesn't want net.women.only on his own
machine, he doesn't have to accept it from his news feed
(assuming it is under his control). Likewise for those who
agree with him that net.women.only is "a waste of net
resources".
Still, we do have to thank him for his suggestion -- there's
been more traffic in net.women.only in the last few weeks
than there has been in months.
Long Live Net.women.only!

And if David is administrator for a backbone machine, it is ok with you that everyone getting their newsfeed from him can do without it also, right? How about if the name gets changed to net.rabid.feminists? (As opposed to net.feminists, a name which implies that men might be acceptable also?) I'm sure David D. wouldn't care about the group name, then. What's that? The name is offensive? But it's only so that women can have their own space without MEN interfering! -- "The weight of the world is love." -- Allan Ginsberg Rick Keir -- MicroComputer Information Center, MACC 1210 West Dayton St/U Wisconsin Madison/Mad WI 53706 {allegra, ihnp4, seismo}!uwvax!uwmacc!rick

No, that wouldn't help-- I would have to get my news feeds to restrict net.women.only in their respective sys files. Admittedly this is not much different, although it could be a problem for some sites. I am more concerned about a sort of Gresham's law of newsgroups; if "if the mailing list exist please put me on it" messages are being sent to Korea, more interesting messages will be crowded out.

This name would be acceptable only if it accurately described the group; I don't think that such a group would support much traffic. (:-)) >I'm sure David D. wouldn't care about the group name, then ... The net.women.only group was a noble experiment, and I'm very sorry that it failed. When I raised the issue (and I am sincerely sorry!), net.women.only had degenerated into net.women.only-request. A newsgroup is not an appropriate place for mailing list requests. -- Welcome to Usenet -- now go home David DiGiacomo, BRAG Systems Inc., San Mateo CA (415) 342-3963 (...decvax!ucbvax!hplabs!bragvax!david)

I've approached rabidness on this issue occasionally, and have observed it in other members of my sex. -- --Dwight Ernest KA2CNN \ Usenet:...vax135!timeinc!dwight Time Inc.
