Please permit an explaination. When I first heard about mod.general, the decision to create this newsgroup was already made. Mail was sent to all the current moderators, asking for someone to moderate this group; I volunteered. The description of mod.general included the line "to replace net.general." For that reason, I stated that I would "abolish net.general in the near future." That statement seemed to elicit quite a reaction; therefore net.general will remain in place for the time being. mod.general will also remain in place (if you do not have the group, you should). I will accept nearly anything, except that posted inappropriately, or that that is libelous. Two good examples I have seen recently have been calls for papers and the announcement of a new department head at UNC. -- James C Armstrong, Jnr. ihnp4!abnji!nyssa "Have you no women beyond the stars?"
