Between flaming about rec.music.christian, rec.music.funky, rec.music.rap, rec.music.reviews, rec.music.noise, rec.music.pop-rocks, misc.activism.commie/fascist, and rec.sport.frisbee.tm.whammo.corp, nobody has any time for us. > I think it's much more important that the minix > community discusses what to do with its newsgroup (and mail list) than > for the rest of the USENET community to worry about what we're doing. Looks like that's what's happening anyway. The invisible hand or something. I'll put out a vote for comp.os.minix.something mid-april. I still prefer the name ".sources" to ".code", since they *are* synonyms and "sources" is the traditional name. Previous groups that have departed from this tradition haven't fared well (see, frex, alt.source-code). The overwhelming preference seems to be for an unmoderated subgroup in any case... -- Peter da Silva. `-_-' peter@ferranti.com +1 713 274 5180. 'U` "Have you hugged your wolf today?"
