[news.sysadmin] comp.sources.unix != net.sources != mod.sources

rs@mirror.TMC.COM (Rich Salz) (04/16/87)

A couple of sites have apparently aliased the current unmoderated
newsgroup net.sources to the new moderated newsgroup comp.sources.unix.
THIS IS WRONG!  The article may be okay on one or two sites, but
eventually it will make its way to a site that forwards all un-approved
articles to the moderator in charge.

For almost a week now, I have been getting at least one copy of almost
every article that appears in net.sources.

Now I know why I haven't seen so much as a blip in comp.sources.misc.  To those
sites in question, if you have to jump the gun, at least do so *correctly*.
