[ line eater bait ]
It has been several weeks since the cut over from the fa.* group to the
mod.* groups and I for one would like to know what is going on!!!!!!!!!
I sincerely miss the weekly dose of INFO-MAC. INFO-MACs replacement
mod.computers.macintosh has had only ONE article so far and that has
already been removed by expire. Is the gatewaying of these groups
still having problems or has the moderator and poster to the mod
version of INFO-MAC stopped posting?

There haven't been any new INFO-MACs for a few weeks,....the moderator must be tied up with something or other... DHMS

Try 'ls /usr/spool/news' - on our machine there used to be an 'fa' (from Arpanet) directory, which contained the info-mac stuff. fa is now gone. -- | Paul DuBois {allegra,ihnp4,seismo}!uwvax!uwmacc!dubois --+-- | "The voice of the Lord is full of majesty." | Psalm 29:4

Fa.info-mac changed to mod.computers.macintosh, but there are apparently some distribution problems with mod. groups, so you might not get the digests unless you are lucky. (Further discussion should occur in net.news.group, as indicated on the followup-to: line)

Fa.info-mac was suppose to be moving to a new group called "mod.computers.macintosh", but only one article has shown up in that group since it was created. All of these moves were dicussed under our noses in net.news.groups, but no notice was sent to the readers of the groups that were removed. Plus, The new names will kill most sites still running "notes" software because of the long names. -- George Erhart at AT&T Bell Laboratories Columbus, Ohio 614-860-4021 {ihnp4,cbosgd}!cbdkc1!gwe

I think that having to read something like "net.news.groups" just to protect your behind defeats the purpose of having special purpose groups. I suspect that most of us already have too much to wade through on a narrow focus group. ...Larry Mazlack
