It has come to my attention that the site I receive my news feed from
carries all of the gnu.* newsgroups but one. I know I should talk to
them directly about this (I assume the omission is unintentional), but
there may be other sites that don't realize that they carry only a
subset of the gnu newsgroups.
Unless I receive convincing objections (e-mail only, please!), or
unless someone else does it first, I will send out (one time only) a
checkgroups control message (Distribution: gnu) based on the next
monthly "Alternative Newsgroup Hierarchies" message that Gene Spafford
posts to news.lists. Since he seems to post them on the last day of
the month, that means you can expect to see my checkgroups message on
March 1st or 2nd.

This was brought to our attention the other day, right after I created gnu.g++.lib.bug. I intend to create a checkgroups myself which should go out over the weekend. --Karl
