Mr. Lidl seems to be holding dc.general to an odd standard--a standard which I have never before seen applied to this group--wherein discussing the aerodynamics of automibiles at freeway speeds is within bounds, but providing information about public access UNIX systems in the DC metro area is not. Mr. Lidl also seems to be arrogating to himself the authority to impose these content restrictions on the group. What is wrong with this picture? In the spirit of "not fixing what ain't broke," I suggest that if commercial information starts to flood dc.general, we then simply newgroup 'dc.biz' or something. However, I hardly think it's a problem at this stage. Chill out, folks. Amanda Walker amanda@visix.com Visix Software Inc. ...!uupsi!visix.com!amanda -- Implementation is 95% boredom and 5% terror.
