Message-ID: <1625@cs-spool.calgary.UUCP> Date: 17 Jul 89 18:38:46 GMT Sender: news@calgary.UUCP Lines: 18 Enquiring minds want to know.... Why is it that there has been so many missing parts of files lately? (it seemed to start around when Nethack came out.) I thought it was because our news reader here lost them somewhere in the mail, but when I see postings from all over requesting missing parts, I have to wonder. Is this a general distribution problem at the source, (i.e. moderator) or do they get ummm, displaced in the mail? No flame, I just want to know. It gets rather annoying having to clutter up the newsgroup with requests for re-postings. Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "This of course is impossible ..." - Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy wirun@ucalgary.ca wirun@uncaedu.BITNET cwirun@uncanet.BITNET ----------------------------------------------------------------------
