[net.news] Information requests/discussions in net.sources!

jwiz@wlcrjs.UUCP (John R. Petersen) (10/13/84)

Well, I may be new to the net in being able to post messages,
but, I've had it already!!  *Anyone* who sends a program request
or a bug report, or a comment to net.sources is going to receive
the following piece of mail:
-------------
<*FLAME MODE ON*>
Whoa!!  I'm sick and tired of getting requests for things in
the middle of net.sources!!  So, *everyone* who posts a request
for a driver or a program etc, is going to get one of these
'form' letters!!  There is a newsgroup just for this purpose,
it's called "net.wanted.sources"!!  Request for such things as
drivers, termcaps, programs go there, NOT IN net.sources!!!  If
you find a bug in a program posted to net.sources, that goes in
"net.sources.bugs".  Also, discussions do *NOT* belong in
net.sources!!  Take it to net.micro, or net.unix, or whatever
group is appropriate for the topic.  The reason being, a lot of system
administrators archive net.sources, and they definitely do NOT
need to archive requests as well!!  Sorry but *I'VE HAD IT*!!
<*FLAME OFF*>

Who knows??  Maybe it will work!
