As of sometime today, reed claims that alt.rock-n-roll.metal does not exist. Did somebody delete it in the course of the recent flamefest, or is this a local problem (or is something completely else going on with it)? -- /^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^\ | It's worse than that, { Nathan Tenny } Acme Hedgehog Inserters | | it's physics, Jim! { ...tektronix!reed!mojo } Implementation Director | \^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^/

Someone sent out an rmgroup for it yesterday and reed honoured it.
Someone who? I don't know for certain, but I have a couple of
guesses. The person hid behind some header mucking.

"It's dead Jim." At least I saw what appeared to be a forged control message (rmgroup) for it. Fortunately, unix.cis.pitt.edu doesn't automatically honor such messages, so we still have the group. No doubt that it's "connectivity" has been damaged, though.

I have long since modified C news's newgroup and rmgroup control scripts to bounce alt messages to my mailbox without processing them; needless to say, *that* one ended up in /dev/null. (Let it be noted that I don't particularly like heavy metal and ignore the newsgroup; I do *not* ignore control messages with obvious signs of having been sent by immature individuals.) ++Brandon -- Brandon S.
