I remember someone said we should all cross-post to comp.sys.apple and
comp.sys.apple2 until everyone has made the switch and is getting
comp.sys.apple2. That is a bit difficult when the news system throws this back
at you:
/usr/local/bin/inews: comp.sys.apple matches no groups in /usr/local/lib/news/active
/usr/local/bin/inews: article in /mnt/class/cs122/cs122aw/dead.article
I know that to cross-post, you simply specify more than one newsgroup in the
"Newsgroups:" line, but I get this message because this site no longer has
anything to do with comp.sys.apple and apparently works with comp.sys.apple2
exclusively.
Am I doing something wrong, or is it just an rn quirk?

I suggested it to help make the transition easier. I now
retract that suggestion. We need to get people posting here so
comp.sys.apple can be removed.

I also originally thought that it would be a good idea to cross-post since rn is smart enough to not make you read the same article twice. Yet there are still many many more articles daily on comp.sys.apple rather than comp.sys.apple2... I think people should be posting ONLY to comp.sys.apple2 so that we can kill comp.sys.apple [via a vote or whatever means are necessary] ASAP. -- _ __ __ __ _ /-------------------------------\ /_\ |__| | __| |_| |_ \ / |_| | unknown@ucscb.ucsc.edu | / \ | |__ |__ | |__ \/ | \ | unknown%darkside.com@ames.arpa | \-------------------------------/
