[net.news.group] Decline and fall of net.mag?

jr@foros1.UUCP (John Rogers) (10/15/84)

Hi.  I have a feeling that net.mag isn't quite working.  The only things I
can remember seeing in the last month or so are the things that I've posted
(Dr. Dobb's Journal, Microsystems, and Computer Language) and some religious
magazine.  Well, since Microsystems seems to be dying (according to a rumor
in net.micro), and no-one seems to care, I vote we nuke the newsgroup.

Of course, if someone wants to dive in and start posting stuff, that's fine
with me.  I can probably be talked into continuing to post the ones I've been
doing.  I'd like to see the TOCs for Software - Practice and Experience, and
the Bell {Labs, System} Technical Journal, if anyone is so inclined.
Something else that I would be interested in seeing would be summaries of
conference proceedings...

				Happy hacking!

If the net so desires, I will type in the TOCs for IEEE Spectrum,
and depending on typing skill, workload, etc, maybe some other mags.
If you want me to, drop me a line. I like the TOCs online. If we get a lot
of people to be responsible for one or two journals each, we could
have a really useful service.

Well, time permitting (always an iffy issue in these parts), I would
be willing to type in the TOC for Dr. Dobb's Journal (which quite a
few of you get already).
