Since Marc did not crosspost the following article to c.s.a I will. He has also said that he has narrowed down the culprit sites to a few universities.

I did *not* issue the newgroup for comp.sys.amiga.announce, or any other new c.s.a.* groups that might arrive at your site. I haven't even seen the control messages yet. (Could somebody please send me the text of the messages, including headers?) They are forged messages. PLEASE DISREGARD THEM. I have sent out an rmgroup for comp.sys.amiga.announce, and will send out rmgroups for any other c.s.a.* groups that were created by this idiot. And please don't send me any more flames about them.

Also, the preliminary discussions so far have been informal and local to c.s.a. It seems to me that we all have a pretty good sense of our individual positions by now. Can someone experienced in the matter post a formal call for discussion in news.groups so that the discussion can be moved there in preparation for voting on the reorganization? I must commend everyone on the interesting and articulate discussion so far. -- Jimmy Liberato liberato@dri.com ...uunet!drivax!liberato
