Of 498 newsgroups, comp.groupware is 226 after only about a months operation.
Not bad that we have about 15,000 readers already.
But propagation seems too low, and I received a query recently from S. R. Harnad
indicating his site was not getting the group. I am sending this info to Eliot
Lear, the moderator of news.announce.newgroups, so he can issue another newgroup
control message.
