[comp.sys.amiga.tech] Introductory Posting

edwin@hcr.UUCP (Edwin Hoogerbeets) (08/09/88)

Hi,

I've started putting together the "intro posting" for comp.sys.amiga*

Here is a draft of the header as it is so far:

***START INCLUDED FILE***

This is an introductory posting to comp.sys.amiga. If you are a new
reader of this group or even if you just want Amiga/Usenet information,
please read the following articles. It is recommended that you save this
article for future reference. We hope that you refer to this article
first before posting to the net. This helps keep the comp.sys.amiga*
uncluttered with topics that have already been discussed.

In rn type:
s newuser <return>
to save this article in the file News/newuser.

This article contains the following topics and their author[s]:

to read any of the above topics, type 'g' for 'go to' and the three
letter index identifier in capitals that is listed on the left.

***END INCLUDED FILE

Do you have anything you want to add? Are you listed above and have
objections to your article or just your .sig being included?
Do you have any objections/suggestions about the above header? (wedge 
address inclusion maybe?)

Things I would like to hear from people about:

How to post to comp.{sources|binaries}.amiga
How to get Fish disks
How to save articles/search for keys in news software other than rn.
Any topic you think has been hashed to death.

I have tried to edit the articles down while keeping the main gist to
conserve space.

Please send me email on this, and I can post version 1.0 in Sept.

Thanks,

You lost me here.  What program uses this?  Is this still rn?  We
don't *do* rn.
