Re: more mess!
I am coming to realized that people are waiting for me to say something.
We are discussing what to do about the proliferation of newsgroups - if
you want to be involved in this discussion please send me mail.  (We
might even, ahem, start a newsgroup.)  I hope to have a list of active
newsgroups, "officially blessed" (whatever that means), in a few days.

The names net.rec.ski and net.rec.scuba sound fine to me - I should have
said yes to this when it first happened.

There will be a net.bugs.u3 for UNIX 3.0 bugs.  I would love to hear from
people on the outside who have 3.0 - I would like to get some unbiased
outside opinions on the system.

I stand on net.cycle, NOT net.mc or net.motorcycle.  Sorry, but mc is to
abbreviated for people to figure out what it is - to me, "mc" means the
Macsyma Consortium machine at MIT.

There is a newsgroup net.news.b for discussion of the B version of news,
replacing the "gamma" mailing list we used to have here.
