This is especially important now that the net has a large number of mod lists. To that end, I advocate the addition of a moderators control message that will automatically update the moderators file when the site understands domain addressing (i.e INTERNET is defined in the defs.h file when making the news software) or will notify the news administrator that a new list it in so s/he can update it. I have already submitted code to add this message to the news 2.10.3 alpha release to rick@seismo, spaf@gatech, and mark@cbosgd in an effort to facilitate its addition to the new news software. Please feel free to share your comments here or via mail to me. REMEMBER: This is a proposal, not the way it is. I hope that it becomes this way, but if you don't like the idea, chime in. -- Stan uucp:{ihnp4!shell,rice}!neuro1!sob Opinions expressed Olan ARPA:sob@rice.arpa here are ONLY mine & Barber CIS:71565,623 BBS:(713)660-9262 noone else's.
