[net.lan] Vote for mod.os

mason@utcsri.UUCP (Dave Mason) (12/17/85)

I seem to have the approval of some of The-Powers-That-Be for the creation
of mod.os.  The backbone people seem to feel that the net load is lower with
mod groups than net groups, and at this point I am not sure I disagree.

I volunteered a while ago to moderate this, hoping someone has some software
to help in digesting.  I am still game for this, but it will have to wait
until I move to a new system (should be early January).

I recommend those who want a forum for discussion of operating systems topics
to followup to net.news.group with an affirmative vote.

I presume we are now casting votes for mod.os.  Okay.  I won't even ask
about whether this is a digested or non-digested group, or other
administrative issues.  I assume we can handle them as we get them.

Yes for mod.os.
