Uh, sorry about the net.all and fa.all creation messages. 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!
