Useful stuff will easily fit into the existing groups. *FLAME ON* You seem to always take things out of context, don't you. If you happen to look back on the article that I "replied" to it was in reference to possibily getting an *OFFICIAL* moderator for unix-pc.sources. While their might be various people archiving the sources groups, it usually is the job of the moderator. As far as delusions of granduer... I think I can talk for quite a number of unix-pc.* readers in saying that I have participated in many discussions, started many myself and I have an excellent reputation with the net-at-large. I was just offering my ongoing assistance in being the moderator to the unix-pc.sources group, if the majority wanted it! *FLAME OFF* |> |> All the unix-pc.sources for the past year or so are in the |> "killer" archives.

My posed solution wouldn't increase the net traffic, it would only categorize articles, and avoid lumping them into vague newsgroups like unix-pc.general. I might have gotten carried away with all the new groups, but maybe a few other specific groups would be a viable solution. If everyone wants to keep things the way they are, so be it... If there are more people out there who are thinking the same as I, speak up! Yes, I realize the traffic in unix-pc.* is low, and therefore go against my unix-pc.general reorganization. |> CLBrunow - KA5SOF |> Loci Products, POB 833846-131, Richardson, Texas 75083 |> clb@loci.uucp, loci@killer.uucp, loci@csccat.uucp -Lenny -- Paper-net: Lenny Tropiano | @-net: lenny@icus.UUCP ICUS Software Systems | !-net: ...att \ PO Box 1 | boulder \ Islip Terrace, NY 11752 | talcott !icus!lenny Vocal-net: (516) 582-5525 [work] | pacbell / (516) 968-8576 [home] | sbcs / Telex-net: 154232428 ICUS | Another-net: attmail!icus!lenny
