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! bob
