[net.news.group] Proposed "net.works.apollo"

nat@yale-com.UUCP (Nat Mishkin) (01/18/84)

Just to clarify the intended purpose of "net.works.apollo".  It is NOT
intended as a spinoff of "net.works" or the ARPA Internet "WorkS" 
distribution.  The reason "net.works.apollo" seemed like the right
name was because the Apollo is a workstation.

The point of "net.works.apollo" is to be the Usenet posting place
for the ARPA Internet "Apollo" distribution (for which I am the
maintainer).  Please "vote" for it on that merit, not whether you
think there's been enough Apollo-related traffic on "WorkS" or
"net.works".

This proposal came up once before, and the answer
was no.  I say no again.

jsq@ut-sally.UUCP (John Quarterman) (01/19/84)

If there's already an ARPANET APOLLO mailing list to be gatewayed,
let's just create net.works.apollo, gateway it, and be done with it.
