Mod groups are still being shaken out. I've found a number of problems (see the articles I posted last night in net.news.adm) in sys files all over the net-- this is keeping some of the standard distributions (especially mod and na) from getting to sections of the net. Because of this I've significantly slowed the traffic in mod.singles-- I don't want to use it heavily until I'm pretty sure most people will see it. Also, there have been some hidden problems with generating good return addresses and how that impacts distribution on the net (*sigh*) that can keep specific messages out of certain areas of the net. I'm (slowly) working on some administrative software that should deal better with that problem than my current hack. I don't think they are failures-- they are still being shaken down, and since this is a volunteer effort they are being fixed only when there is time to really work on it-- and that time has been rather rare recently. chuq -- From behind the bar: Chuq Von Rospach {allegra,cbosgd,decwrl,hplabs,ihnp4,seismo}!nsc!chuqui nsc!chuqui@decwrl.ARPA Deadbone erotica is the prickly panic of forgotten milleniums, it is the moldy billion year madness that creeps deep along the spinal behind of my mind.
