Here is a posting from the mod/backbone mailing list with regard to net.sources: From ihnp4!ihlpa!dhp@cbosgd Wed Apr 29 23:07:10 1987 Date: Wed, 29 Apr 87 21:39:21 ast From: ihlpa!dhp@ihnp4 To: backbone@cbosgd Subject: Continued support of net.sources.* Status: RO I will be installing support for new aliases on ihnp4 soonest, but I wanted to let everyone know that ihnp4 will continue to support the net.sources.* unmoderated postings indefinitely. There has been a lot of interest expressed to me personally, that an unmoderated forum should continue to exist. So, in keeping with a suggestion made here a few months ago, I will continue a private net.* distribution outside of the "official" list of newsgroups. Ihnp4 is a dedicated backbone engine, so disk space is not an issue here. If the backbone sites cbatt, ptsfa, alberta etc. don't want to receive these groups, let me know. Conversely, any backbone site wishing to be included in the net.sources.* private feed, also let me know. Douglas H. Price ihnp4!ihlpa!dhp 45261 AT&T-BL IH philabs is going to continue the unmoderated net.sources, and will pass them to any of our present feeds that want them. rob -- william robertson rob@philabs.philips.com "indecision is the key to flexibility"
