[net.followup] Late Night with David Letterman - creation of new group

ka@spanky.UUCP (Kenneth Almquist) (09/22/83)

One problem with having too many groups is that the more groups there
are the more they will be misposted to.  Remember the suggestion that
we create a net.modem because people were talking about modems in
various random groups?  As it happens, we already have a net.dcom for
talking about data communications; the problem is that there are too
many groups so that people have a hard time keep track of them.

As for the unsubcribe to discussion command, anybody have the time to
implement this?  I have worked out a scheme for doing this that I will
be glad to explain upon request, but it would require lots of work to
write.

Ron,
	please create it, so I can unsubscribe.  I really don't understand
	the people who complain about the creation of more groups.
	The argument of "just exercise the n" does not hold water,
	just imagine we had only 1 group and you had to exercise the "n"
	on a 300 Baud line ....

	I am still waiting for the creation of the command "N" (that's
	capital-N), meaning " ... and don't even ask me if I want to see
	any follow-ups to this article"

		Can't resist trying to follow most groups ... ---Werner
