hello netlanders,

i'd like to post this article to thank all who have responded to my request
for help/advice with usenet politics.  i received a slew of mail in response
to my previous posting and ALL of it contained responses such as "his software
is severely broken" or "sounds like he is mis-managing a mail list or e-mail
to news gateway".  -- i knew his software/configuration is hosed [slightly],
THAT IS WHY I WAS ASKING FOR HELP WITH ``NET POLITICS''.

as i stated in my last posting i am having a problem with chem.ecsd.edu
reposting news articles.  this site/domain reposts any and all articles posted
pubnet.nixpub.  i mentioned that i had been in contact with the admin for the
offending site and he told me that he could only correct the problem if the
site stopped forwarding the group.  he explained that apparently some site
thinks that this pubnet.nixpub is moderated and his site just re-acting.  at
his suggestion, i sent out several control messages (over the course of the
last month) -- this, of course, did not solve anything.  the group is NOT
moderated and shouldn't be marked as such.

i am sure this would be a much more pressing issue if the problem group were
in comp, news, rec ... but it is not.  my question is what do i do at this
point??  i could continue to ask the admin out there to fix it, i could find
some governing usenet body -- i have never heard of one but maybe i have
missed something, i could just put up with it, or i could stop posting my
lists to that group.

any ideas ??
