This is a trial post to the USENET group can.canet.d.  The posting
should reach the mailing list members as well.  The group is a
moderated group in the technical sense only.  Moderated groups, when
used properly, encourage posters to send mail to the moderator.  In
this case, the moderator address is the list itself, canet-d@canet.ca.
That will hopefully ensure that the mailing list members can read the
messages posted to the newsgroup.

As of 12 noon Jan 10, there are 25 subscribers to the mailing list, and
an untold number of people subscribing to the news group.

For those first reading this via news, let me repeat the announcement I sent
out earlier:

A new mailing list has been established at the CA*net Network
Operations Center.  The list is called "canet-d" and can be reached as
"canet-d@canet.ca" (or canet-d at utorgpu for those on NetNorth not
running a mailer).  Requests to join this list should be sent via email
to canet-d-request@canet.ca (not to the list itself please).

The purpose of the mailing list is simply to provide an open forum for
discussion of just about any topic related to CA*net.  Since the list
is intended to be discussion oriented, no one will assume the
responsibility to answer questions sent to this list.  Questions will,
hopefully, be addressed by the participants of the list.

There is an intention to gateway this mailing list into USENET, probably
as can.canet.d.  Therefore those of you who prefer to use news readers
as interfaces to mailing lists may wish to hold off subscribing to the
list directly.

If you have any questions about the list, feel free to contact me
via email.
