I want to thank all of you for sending in "yes" votes for the creation
of a news group. We are called "comp.simulation" and if you are running
"news" (via USENET) you can access comp.simulation along with many
other special interest news groups. Let me try to answer some questions
asked by subscribers:
1) How does the creation of a news group change anything? USENET is
a collection of many nodes that carry news items through the
mechanism of "news groups." If you have access to USENET, you may
peruse the list of available groups -- in this manner, comp.simulation
can attract many new subscribers indirectly, thereby increasing
the world-wide visibility and activity for the group.
2) What if I can't get good access to USENET? No problem. All subscribers
will continue to receive the digest as before.
Therefore, USENET will have its primary impact on the visibility of
the group and the variety of participants. Thanks again for your
help.

Hello, so a simulation group has finally come up! Good for us. Perhaps now
the real answers to timewarp versus chandy-misra can be unravelled here.
Not to talk of the new paradigms for distributed simulation that all of you
must surely have invented ...
I wonder, is it also OK to talk about non-simulation topics like modeling
in general?
[systems modeling is most appropriate -pf]
Cheers,
