[news.sysadmin] Valid groups?

clarke@acheron.UUCP (Ed Clarke) (12/05/88)

I've just been cleaning up my 'active' file and have come up with a few
groups that look valid, but are not found in the checkgroups.inet from Gene 
Spafford.  Are these new ( since 12 Nov 88 ), bogus or should they go into
another category ( like gnu, pubnet, alt )?  Doesn't spaf coordinate 'comp'?

comp.archives
comp.lang.sigplan
comp.sys.ibm.pc.net

And I'm not even going to ask about 'alt.weemba.sheep' ...

comp.archives and comp.lang.sigplan are legit groups (at least,
they are as legit as any other group we have :-)

I dunno what comp.sys.ibm.pc.net is -- your posting is the
first I can recall even seeing it mentioned.

They say that memory is one of the first things to go...

comp.sys.ibm.pc.net used to be an inet group (and, by extension, an
Arpa discussion list).  It went to /dev/null a month or two ago and
can be rmgroup'd.
