Recently the number of articles in net.unix-wizards seems to get out of hand. No way a wizard with work to do can manage to read them all. Therefore I propose mod.unix-wizards. I even volunteer as a moderator but since my net address places me a bit at the end of the world it might be better if someone more central would do it. -- Hans van Staveren, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam ..!{seismo|philabs|decvax}!mcvax!vu44!sater

The main problem that I see is having a sufficiently eclectic (sp?) moderator (no matter where in the world) to sift through the varied topics. -- reg Reg Hody, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia.

B3H 4H8 (902-424-6501) {allegra,decvax,decwrl,floyd,ihnp4}!utcsrgv!dalcs!hody or... dalcs!hody@dartmouth Certainly a good idea, when you get back from XMAS break and find 348 (!) articles to read! An even better idea is to have moderated sub-groups e.g. mod.unix-wiz.vax mod.unix-wiz.bugs etc. Such sub-groups need not be moderated by the one person, relieving any potential load on whoever it is, and also separating the articles into some more sensible groupings.
