As you may have noticed, I've made some changes to my automated
map posting scripts.  When I receive an update, in addition to
sending the mail ack that you've been getting in the past, I will
also post the update to mi.map.

With the advent of the various BBSs that carry Usenet feeds, I've been
surprized at the number of sites that have mail only, or news feed only
as the only method of access to the outside world.  This is the primary
reason why I've started to use both news and mail for the acks.

I will also continue to post the entire set of maps to mi.map whenever I
make a submission to comp.mail.maps at rutgers.  This is primarily to
work around any delays that might happen at rutgers.  For example, Mel
is in the UK for another week and if something were to go astray at
rutgers, it probably wouldn't get fixed until his return.

One last thing I'm going to do, unless I hear any objections is to make
mi.map moderated.  Some people have been posting their updates to mi.map
and for whatever reasons, I miss them.  With mi.map being moderated,
these entries would automatically be forwarded via mail to my uucpmap
account at vela.  This would guarantee that I will receive all updates
no matter what was their source of origin.

You may also noticed, that I've cleaned up the sites that hadn't updated
their maps in over two years.  As soon as I get some free time, I'm
going to start on the sites with entries older than 18 months.

One last comment to close this already too long message.  Thanks to all
those that submit timely accurate maps.  It sure does make my job
easier!
