Message-ID: <459@ukma.UUCP> Date: Fri, 4-Jan-85 14:42:02 EST Article-I.D.: ukma.459 Posted: Fri Jan 4 14:42:02 1985 Date-Received: Sat, 5-Jan-85 23:23:37 EST Organization: Univ. of KY Mathematical Sciences Lines: 12 Permanent postings are a good idea. But how does it get done? A problem mentioned was updating them upon change. Simple, when sending out the new posting send along with it a control message cancelling the old posting. This has the added benefit of letting all the newsgroups readers know that a policy has changed or something. Causing problems with 2.10.2? If we really want this feature then change the algorithm.
