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. John V. Smith

#R:ihuxh:-11400:cmcl2:5600001:000:942 cmcl2!tihor Jan 25 18:58:00 1983 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.
