<added news.groups>

Please see co.config for background.

co.* is in need of an admin as it has been abandoned for a couple years and
admin duties need to be accomplished by someone.

| Don't know what you mean by roughshod.  But people should follow the
| charter of the groups.  Whether it be in co.* or alt.* or any place on
| usenet.
| Does something need to be changed?  A new group added?  Or?

1. Charter needs an update and clarification to reflect changes in the
Usenet environment since it's last update in 1999. Since the creation of
co.ads, co.cos.ads, etc there is no need for advertising in the discussion
groups.  "for sale" notices are being improperly placed in co.general, and
while this may not seem like such a terrible thing, it is inviting the mass
spammers to advertise in the discussion groups as well.

2. Yes, new groups need to be created.  co.durango.general &
co.grandjunction.general in particular.  I believe the grandjunction folks
gave up a year or so back as there was no admin to do it.  That's a shame.
Boosters should be being sent. An "official," news admin with a pgp key on
file to complete admin duties in accordance with Usenet tradition, IMO.

| All I can suggest is post a message over at news.groups (as above)
| and see if they can suggest something for what ever you need to know.
