Is somebody there maybe getting overexcited again? Please, this was one of the problems last time around, with people jumping the gun and unintentionally causing a lot of pain and confusion... -- George Robbins - now working for, uucp: {ihnp4|seismo|rutgers}!cbmvax!grr but no way officially representing arpa: cbmvax!grr@seismo.css.GOV Commodore, Engineering Department fone: 215-431-9255 (only by moonlite)

Stuff gatewayed through ucbvax is landing in "junk" on your system because you haven't gotten the newgroup control messages yet. We already have, and I saw no reason to wait before shifting the gateway to the new names. keeper of the network news on ucbvax, Erik E. Fair ucbvax!fair fair@ucbarpa.berkeley.edu

A schedule was posted giving the dates on which the new groups would be created, the dates the old groups would be removed, and the dates that posting would start to the new groups. I would think that you should have received it and honored it, Erik.
