Secondly, In article <1050@jhunix.UUCP> ins_akaa@jhunix.ARPA (Kenneth Adam Arromdee) writes: > >Furthermore, I am located at a university which does not permit me to read >net.news.group.

Talk about priorities :-). WITHOUT getting into the argument as to whether or not net.bizarre should exist or not, I would like to know how an institution on the net can justify carrying net.bizarre and NOT net.news.group. I consider net.news.group to be up there in importance with net.announce.newusers (which, unfortunately, too many people tend to ignore). WHY does jhunix.ARPA not carry net.news.group? Could it be that they carry it but (as Mr. Arromdee states) they don't allow certain users to read it? Does their feed not carry it? Have they decided that it is a spurious newsgroup? What's the scoop????? -- Carlo Sgro ...![ihnp4||decvax||allegra||clyde||utzoo]!watmath!watrose!cjsgro "ihnp4 Express: Overnight to the USA or you don't pay!"
