It has come to my attention that "net.unix" these days contains nothing but cross-postings from other newsgroups. Almost everything posted there is x-posted to net.unix-wizards; most of the rest (and some of the net.unix-wizards) is posted to net.bugs[.*]. Thus, the group appears to contain no traffic that would merit its retention. The traffic has all gone elsewhere, with just a x-post to net.unix added as a possible afterthought. I propose that, as the group's usefulness has expired, it be removed. -- <std dsclm, copies upon request> Tanner Andrews, KI4PV uucp: ...!decvax!ucf-cs!ki4pv!tanner

Run the following in ~news/net/unix ls -l | wc -l ls -1 | grep " 1 news" | wc -l Remembering that ls -l gives a "total" line that makes 44/91 of the group not posted to anywhere else, nearly half. So let's keep it. Or was this a joke? -- The Maxwell R. Mayhem Institute for Quandary Requiem and Maternal Sciamachy Accept no substitutes.
