Under my guidance, six other USENET sites have sucessfully started up without incident or embarassment. The seventh one I gave a UUCP connection to, and told where to find the news distribution on my machine, the day I left for the USENIX Conference in Salt Lake City. When I got back on Sunday, I found that they had sent out the creation messages and there was nothing I could do about it. I sent the contact there a letter telling him to expect all kinds of hate mail, and giving the remedy for creating his side of the connection. I think that if I had not been incommunicado, this could have been averted. Never do anything of lasting import the day you leave for anywhere! Erik E.
