I seem to have ruffled a few feathers with my statement announcing
mod.general and the "abolition" of net.general.  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.
