I've sent out a couple of control messages today. Someone out there
accidently created the groups 'net.all' and 'fa.all'. I've
sent out nuke messages on both of them (thanks, it's been a while since
I've been able to nuke a group!). If the rmgroups don't get to you, delete
these groups and start the rmgroup again, please!
Also, as promised last week, I have created net.sci as a general purpose
place for scientific discussions. this will also be a top level group for
science oriented specialty groups once we figure out how to rename groups
(please, DON'T start moving groups until we figure out how!). enjoy!

Uh, sorry about the net.all and fa.all creation messages. Under my
guidance, six other USENET sites have sucessfully started up without
incident or embarassment. The seventh one I gave a UUCP connection to,
and told where to find the news distribution on my machine, the day I
left for the USENIX Conference in Salt Lake City. When I got back on
Sunday, I found that they had sent out the creation messages and there
was nothing I could do about it. I sent the contact there a letter
telling him to expect all kinds of hate mail, and giving the remedy for
creating his side of the connection. I think that if I had not been
incommunicado, this could have been averted.
Never do anything of lasting import the day you leave for anywhere!

Actually, one thing I'd like to see is net.micro contain only general micro stuff, while another group (net.micro.help) would be the place to go for all those fools who can't get their Epson printer working right. What I mean is that net.micro is full-to-busting with traffic that devolves to "I have this CPU and that peripheral, and they don't work. Can someone help me?". I can't stand having to "n" past so much junk, when a net.wanted type of group could fill the bill quite well. So... net.micro Discussion about micros in general, but no help requests net.micro.help Requests for help in getting micros working. Any comments ??
