My site just received the following message. It creates the newsgroup net.forsale. I thought that there had been quite a bit of discussion on this point before the decision to go na.forsale. The author of the new control message appears confused to me. It looks to me as though a rmgroup should be issued on net.forsale and an alias installed at those sites at 2.10.2.

Spaf, who coordinates the newsgroup list, has sent out a rmgroup after it (which I'm sure won't get nearly as far as the new group), and I'll be sending another out shortly. All sites should remove net.forsale (and PLEASE, don't re-create it). chuq -- From the center of a Plaid pentagram: Chuq Von Rospach {cbosgd,decwrl,fortune,hplabs,ihnp4,seismo}!nsc!chuqui nsc!chuqui@decwrl.ARPA ~But you know, monsieur, that as long as she wears the claw of the dragon upon her breast you can do nothing-- her soul belongs to me!~
