I once asked where system administrators should post info on the net.
I was told in news.sysadmin.  I was told that news.admin is for netnews
administrators.

I think news.sysadmin is misleadingly named because it looks like a
newsgroup for news administrators.  Is it time to rename this
newsgroup?  I notice the traffic is a small spillover from news.admin.

Am I wrong in thinking that a system administrator's newsgroup is
sorely missing?
