[soc.religion.eastern] Aministrivia

prabhu@nas.nasa.gov (06/10/91)

 Hi Folks,

    I am back again with a bit of administrivia for this newsgroup. This should
 have been done ages ago but I have been completely swamped at work and haven't
 been able to spend too much time moderating this group.I hope this will change
 over the next few weeks. My apologies for any inconvenience.

   I took over from Bill Mayne (interim moderator) during the last part of March.
 I would like to thank Bill for having kept things running rather nicely during
 my absence. The change has been smooth though there are some sites (especially
 the ones at berkeley.edu) that still point to Bill's address.

   I post three times a day - when in get in, after lunch, and when I leave. I
 hope this represents fast enough turnaround. If your article doesn't appear in
 the newsgroup within 24 hrs. and you haven't received mail from me rejecting
 your article please e-mail your article directly to me.

   I save about a weeks worth of articles and on request I can mail you the
 articles that you've missed. As of June 1 I have started keeping track of
 articles again and I'll post statistics every Sunday. The statistics for this
 last week are given below.

   My apologies once again for all the delays.

   Regards
   Dinesh Prabhu
   (prabhu@amelia.nas.nasa.gov)

 PS: To John Wheeler - I am unable to reach you via e-mail as my site does not
     recognize your address. I found your article titled "The Benefits of Zazen"
     a bit off and I wish you would reconsider the article.

  You can mail articles now to prabhu@amelia.nas.nasa.gov if Pnews doesn't
