jvs (01/25/83)

	TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN,

	You may be interested to know that there is indeed a newsgroup
	called "net.trivia."  CHECK IT OUT!  Next time give a return
	address when you send mail.

Considerable effort and discussion has gone into the net.trivia vs.
net.games.trivia arguement and the consensus was that the groups
were (a) redundant and (b) better placed in net.games.trivia.  
Please drop net.trivia (ideally just unsubscribe from it) certainly never
post to it and especially do not post to it in combination with a
real newsgroup since that will probably recreate it again.  Most of 
the sites where net.trivia exists are sites where news .ctl messages
can not automatically delete a newsgroup and where the news administrator
for some reason has not gotten around to removing the group for which
he received the termination notice.  Some plans are underway for a 
future release of news to deal more gracefully with these problems 
but it will be a while before a majority of sites are running it.  Meanwhile
please let net.trivia die a natural death and ask the relevant administrator
to remove the group in question.
