[comp.sys.amiga] How do I reach amiga moderators?

mrr@amanpt1.zone1.com (Mark Rinfret) (08/27/88)

I've been trying to get a message to Pat White to get the correct addresses
for comp.sources|binaries.amiga and my mail keeps bouncing.  Look at the
"WHY" line in this latest - it's a trip!  That's exactly how it came back
to me!  If anyone can help with this, I'd appreciate it.  I also wanted the
moderators to get a look at it, lest there be some "funny business" going on.

Pat - did you get my posting of MRBackup, V2.4?  I'm beginning to believe that
you didn't and would like to correct the situation.  I was relying on my
news forwarding mechanism ("Blah newsgroup is moderated...your posting will
be forwarded...etc.") to get it to you, but a check of the spooled files
revealed a "gatech" address (?!).  Looks like I need to update something.
Would you please give me the sources/binaries mail addresses?  I'll add 'em
to my alias list.  Thanks.

     Nope, no funny business is going on.  A man named Frank Perdue runs a
business in (I'm told) the eastern United States that supplies chickens (for
food--I assume they are prepared).  However, the moderators you know and
love (not to mention chide, from time to time) are at Purdue University.  Note
the difference in spelling.  In the quoted text above the address (referring
to the university, not the chicken guy) is misspelled.  Needless to say,
this happens quite a bit.  I guess that some of the sites that have to deal
with this particular mistake often have come up with some original ways of
dealing with it.  I find this one rather amusing (I have to deal with it
myself, sometimes).

     The official submission addresses are:

          For binaries:  amiga-binaries-request@j.cc.purdue.edu
          For sources:  amiga-sources-request@j.cc.purdue.edu

     Also, if you want to address questions, comments or war stories to
the moderators, they can be reached at:

          Pat White:  ain@j.cc.purdue.edu

          Rob Tillotson:  sentinel@killer.dallas.tx.us, and, soon, others

          Brent Woods:  woodsb@killer.dallas.tx.us

     Remember, if you want chicken, go to Frank PERdue.  If you want an
institution of higher education (i.e., Undue PURversity) write to PURdue.
