Kramer) Newsgroups: net.news Subject: Re: Suggestion: article number 0 Message-ID: <55@axiom.UUCP> Date: Tue, 25-Jun-85 13:18:41 EDT Article-I.D.: axiom.55 Posted: Tue Jun 25 13:18:41 1985 Date-Received: Thu, 27-Jun-85 06:45:55 EDT References: <905@sdcsla.UUCP> Organization: Axiom Technology, Newton MA Lines: 17 Larry's idea of an article 0 sounds great to me. I certainly is 1. conceptually clean, and 2. easy to automate. When a group starts up, the control message can contain the article 0, and another control message can override it. This can be applied to mod.all groups and fa.all groups to include the name/addr of the moderator, so that changing moderators can be done pretty easily by updating the moderator name. (Maybe this can be used to force news to reply to the moderator mentioned there rather than following up in the usual way.) Thanx, Larry. Good one. -- --steve kramer {allegra,genrad,ihnp4,utzoo,philabs,uw-beaver}!linus!axiom!smk (UUCP) linus!axiom!smk@mitre-bedford (MIL)
