The deletion has allowed us to reclaim much needed disk space. Net.bizarre made a brief comeback last weekend, but it has now been aliased to junk. If by some chance net.bizarre (with its original "charter") should happen to become a legitimate group, we would probably still refuse to carry it. On the other hand... I never read any of net.internat, but it sounds like it was a very good group and carried useful (and economically justifiable!) information. It should probably be sanctioned as a group somewhere in the hierarchy. It is unfortunate that net.internat wasn't started within the rules. Please keep your return flames to yourself. -- Richard Johnsson, DEC Western Software Lab, Palo Alto, CA UUCP: {decvax,ucbvax,ihnp4}!decwrl!johnsson ARPA: johnsson@decwrl.dec.com DEC ENet: rhea::johnsson phone: +1 415 853 6676
