|Some eight months ago, I as moderator of comp.sys.masscomp proposed in

|with concurrent.
|
|I received many responses saying to do it and don't bother with a vote since

|was dead, etc. So, I decided to try the rmgroup/newgroup again.

	Probably B news sites ought to add the line

		"comp.sys.masscomp	comp.sys.concurrent"

	to your News "aliases" file, and C news sites
	do the analogous action in their "active" files.
