From: utzoo!decvax!harpo!npoiv!alice!sjb Newsgroups: net.news Title: Re: why the rmgroup net.periph? Article-I.D.: alice.1402 Posted: Sun Jan 16 10:26:52 1983 Received: Tue Jan 18 05:25:34 1983 References: uw-beave.300 Not coming from here, I can only speculate why net.periph was rm'ed (if I recall, it was done by mj1!usenet -- care to speak for yourself?) net.periph is not a group, it's that simple. net.periphs (note the s on the end) is the peripheral device newsgroup. A note to all you rmgroup weary admin's: I have been persuaded (politely, not by any flaming) to stop rmgroup'ing illegitimate newsgroups until 2.10 comes out, when the problem of them will be solved automatically (they will just not be created without the proper control messages in the first place)
