Those who read "news.groups" need to be aware of the discussion that is now going on in "comp.sys.atari.st". The situation seems to be that sometime moderator of comp.binaries.atari.st comp.sources.atari.st has resigned, and now some folks are posting to "comp.sys.atari.st". We seem to agree that there is a need for these first two groups but no volunteer has come forward. I think that a good case ca be made for removing the "moderated" classification, and allowing general postings, even with the "bad software" problems that are likely to arise. Perhaps another volunteer will come forward once the need for moderation becomes clear again. Here is a sample of recent discussion.

I wouldn't mind being the moderator for either or both groups. Who do I contact to become the moderator? Jon Brode -- acn@caen.engin.umich.edu .
