Some eight months ago, I as moderator of comp.sys.masscomp proposed in
news.groups and comp.sys.masscomp to change the name to comp.sys.concurrent.
This was to reflect that masscomp no longer exists as such since it merged
with concurrent.
I received many responses saying to do it and don't bother with a vote since
it is a name change, not a new group.
At that time, I did send out rmgroup and newgroup to make that happen. For
some reason, the distribution mechanism failed and some parts of the country
did not get the change. I received mail from folks asking me if the newsgroup
was dead, etc. So, I decided to try the rmgroup/newgroup again.
Since many of you don't read the newsgroup, you are probably unaware of the
reasoning.
