I agree with Don that this group is high quality, and I appreciate the work that the snitches and others have done to create all the quality information we see here on a very timely basis. I would like to see this continue, even if Usenix does not want to pay for supporting it. If John is willing to continue as moderator on a volunteer basis, I applaud him. If not, I would like to see him call for a volunteer moderator before turning the group into an unmoderated zoo and flame fest. -- Glen Overby <overby@plains.nodak.edu> uunet!plains!overby (UUCP) overby@plains (Bitnet) Volume-Number: Volume 21, Number 180
