Soley) Newsgroups: news.admin,news.config Subject: Map updates in news.config Message-ID: <670@ontenv.UUCP> Date: 10 Aug 88 15:39:28 GMT Organization: Ontario Ministry of the Environment, Toronto Lines: 17 Can something be done about the practice some sites have of posting their map entry to news.config every time they add or drop local connections (I don't know what it is about Texans). Sometimes multiple times in a week! I'm sure that most of the net can wait for a "proper" map update to find out that flibitz has added a connection to bloop especially if pathalias already gives a valid path for bloop. I'll concede that these things are of interest to those in the vicinity of the involved site but can we please cut out the worldwide distribution of this cruft. -- Norman Soley - Data Communications Analyst - Ontario Ministry of the Environment UUCP: utgpu!ontmoh!------------\ VOICE: +1 416 323 2623 {attcan,utzoo}!lsuc!ncrcan!ontenv!norm "witty saying not available due to writers strike"
