I have already unaliased the unix-pc.* groups on my machine. (I feed nobody.) I would request that those who keep unix-pc.* around to please also unalias it, especially those sites running B-news. I have no objection to those who so desire keeping it around, but I would rather not have systems shoehorning "unix on a pc" artilces from there (where I can read or ignore as I desire) into the comp.sys.3b1 group. where I cannot see any reason for the mistaken posting to occur. Since I am a leaf node, I'll probably keep the groups in my active file for a while to see if there IS any traffic once the aliasing stops muddying the waters, but there will be no POSTINGS in those groups from this site. Please, let us not start a flame war over something like this.
