[net.news] redistribution of old articles considered harmful

chuqui@nsc.UUCP (Chuq Von Rospach) (03/26/84)

I just had the pleasure of zapping over 500 articles that have come in over
the last 72 hours or so that were originally posted to the network in
February. I expect you have all seen them as well. Now, I am not making
rash judgements, but many of them came from notesfile sites, and of the
random samples I looked at, all of them seemed to have a notesfile site in
the path to my machine. The net is having enough trouble with volume
without having to force a week or so of old news down its throat as well,
so could people please look around and see if they have a malfunctioning
system?

as always,

chuq

If everyone marches to the beat of a different drummer,
why does mine have to use a bongo?
