Unfortunately, it seems that the group has been created as net.wanted.sources. I suggest that every site put the following lines to their /usr/lib/news/aliases file: net.unix.wizards net.unix-wizards net.trivia net.games.trivia net.periph net.periphs net.puzzles net.puzzle net.term net.info-terms net.vlsi net.lsi net.sources.wanted net.wanted.sources These newsgroups seem to be easily confused. -- Ken Turkowski @ CADLINC, Palo Alto, CA UUCP: {amd,decwrl,flairvax,nsc}!turtlevax!ken ARPA: turtlevax!ken@DECWRL.ARPA

The reason it was created as net.wanted.sources instead of net.sources.wanted was because net.sources.wanted would have been archived anything net.sources was expired and that seemed a silly thing to do. The alias file entry 'net.sources.wanted net.wanted.sources' is a good idea. chuq -- From the Department of Bistromatics: Chuq Von Rospach {cbosgd,decwrl,fortune,hplabs,ihnp4,seismo}!nsc!chuqui nsc!chuqui@decwrl.ARPA I'd know those eyes from a million years away....
