All right. Things are finally getting organized. Gene Spafford has issued another newgroup message. All sites should be receiving articles in rec.arts.startrek.info now. If your site is not receiving the group, chances are that it is because your individual site is not propagating the group. If this is the case, your news admin. will need to create the group by hand (you can tell if this is the case by seeing if info stuff is being dropped in the junk directory). Note that receiving this article does not mean that your site is receiving the group correctly, as I am cross-posting this article to rec.arts.startrek. Any site which receives r.a.s. will receive this article in r.a.s.i, regardless of whether or not it is actually propagating r.a.s.i. You will know if your site is receiving the new group if you see an article posted there that is *not* cross-posted to another group. I've also set up my scripts to automatically archive articles for access via anonymous ftp. To get articles, ftp to scam.berkeley.edu (128.32.138.1) as "anonymous", and cd to misc/info. The articles are stored in separate compressed files according to date posted, along with an index of subjects and submitters. For now, I have just the one directory. In the future, I will make separate tar files, each containing a month's worth of articles, and a directory containing the current month's articles. I'm not entirely satisfied with this arrangement, but I do have scripts set up to "do the right thing", so unless someone suggests an alternate scheme, things will remain this way. I *am* open to alternate schemes. Finally, I'd like to reiterate what the mail aliases are, and what they are for. trek-info@scam.berkeley.edu - mail any submission here. Do *not* mail comments, questions, etc. here. I will assume any article mailed here is intended as a submission, and I will respond accordingly. trek-info-request@scam.berkeley.edu - mail comments on my moderating, problems with ftp, newsgroup requests or questions, etc. here. Do *not* mail submissions here. griffith@scam.berkeley.edu - mail problems with any of the above, general Trek questions that you think I can answer, or otherwise personal notes here. I've already had a couple of people mail me Trek trivia questions, figuring that my moderatorship means omniscience of All Things Trek. I'm flattered, but I'm not *that* good (although I *am* batting 1.000 so far... :-). I don't mind answering trivia questions. Said inquiries, however, have nothing to do with the newsgroup, and they should be addressed directly to me. (alternatively, you can also include /dev/null here, with apologies to Brad Templeton...) Mail to these three addresses are automagically incorporated into separate folders, and I deal with the different folders differently. So please keep these addresses separate, and try to mail to the appropriate one.
