I don't think it will be the last either. :-) During the BOF it was decided that a mailing list or newsgroup should be setup so that discussions about archive management could continue. Several complained that their mailboxes were too full already so let's do it in a newsgroup... :-) ******************************************** CALL FOR DISCUSSION ------- comp.archives.d ******************************************** Newsgroup Name: comp.archives.d Moderator: none This is a CALL FOR DISCUSSION concerning creating the newsgroup comp.archives.d.
