allbery@ncoast.UUCP (Brandon S. Allbery) (08/25/87)
Well, decision time hath come; and I have received no notification from
Gene Spafford that comp.binaries.ibm.pc has the blessing of the Net. As
a result, I regret that I must announce the demise of comp.binaries.ibm.pc.
Aside from the major reason, there are minor reasons:
(1) Very few applicants for the job -- and *none* of the correct kind, which
is via discussion in news.groups (where it belongs) or comp.sys.ibm.pc
(where it's relevant).
(2) The majority of PC binaries are being posted in comp.sys.ibm.pc now.
So: system admins, please alias comp.binaries.ibm.pc into comp.sys.ibm.pc.
On September 10, I will send out the rmgroup, which should bring this discu-
ssion to a close and make the net.bosses happier. It's been nice knowing you
all.
