[comp.binaries.ibm.pc] Posting to comp.binaries.ibm.pc

For those of you who missed the message first time around:

POST discussions about binaries to COMP.BINARIES.IBM.PC.D <---------

NOTE THE .D

From now on lets only see Binaries in comp.binaries.ibm.pc.  The discussion
topic was created last week and no one has posted to it.

I think that anyone posting a non-binary to comp.binaries.ibm.pc after May 1,
1988 should recieive the title:

Computer Bozo Elite

  We are one hop off the backbone (uunet & philabs) and have no such
group. I have had a message from a backbone manager stating that the
group will be created as soon as this group becomes moderated. Why ask
for postings to a group which doesn't seem to exist? And when it exists
this group will be moderated and no action will be needed, so what's the
fuss?

My site does not have that group available,  and maybe I am not the only one.
If anybody out there can notify the news gods,  maybe there is a problem
getting the control message out.  I have never had a problem being notified
about new groups,  but this one does not exist here.  I'll talk to the
sysadmins here and see whats up.  In the meantime, post something to it.

Well, golly, big fella, I got news for you.

comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d does NOT exist at my site!

So sue me.  Or flame me >/dev/null.
