Brad is right - hopefully when most of the world converts to version B, the feature that causes it to ask you "do you really want to create a new newsgroup net.unix-wizards?" will curb most of this mistaken group posting. (Version A could certainly benefit from a similar feature.) As it is, many sites have "all" in their .ngfile to avoid having to fix it every time somebody creates a newsgroup. Sites that do not will never see the articles posted to nonexistent newsgroups. Perhaps I should post a list of all net and fa newsgroups? In the meantime, the following newsgroups DO NOT EXIST and PLEASE DO NOT POST TO THEM! net.unix-wizards (mail to ucbvax!unix-wizards) net.info-cpm (mail to ucbvax!info-cpm) net.joke (use net.jokes) fa.editor-people (mail to ucbvax!editor-p) net.unix-stuff (mail to ucbvax!unix-wizards) net.info-terms (mail to ucbvax!info-terms)
