(TDS - Montreal) St. Laurent QC, Canada Lines: 19 Posted: Tue May 31 14:43:57 1988 As we are discussing the validity and necessity of a new newsgroup, it might be an idea to demonstrate our net.credentials on this subject *BY HOLDING THE DISCUSSION IN THE CORRECT NEWSGROUP NEWS.GROUPS*. If you read news.groups you will find that there is also a much more radical proposal already being discussed (though spasmodically). It is an unfortunate net.fact that this sort of discussion can easily generate more traffic than the whole technical group's subject matter, thus, please, all followups to news.groups (no, that does not mean crosspost to, it means followup to). BTW I do feel that a more radical restructuring *is* required. -- Ray Dunn. | UUCP: ..!{philabs, mnetor}!micomvax!ray Philips Electronics Ltd. | TEL : (514) 744-8200 Ext: 2347 600 Dr Frederik Philips Blvd | FAX : (514) 744-6455 St Laurent.
