Re: net. vs fa.
Brad is right - hopefully when most of the world converts to version B,
the feature that causes it to ask you "do you really want to create a
new newsgroup net.unix-wizards?" will curb most of this mistaken
group posting.  (Version A could certainly benefit from a similar feature.)
As it is, many sites have "all" in their .ngfile to avoid having to fix
it every time somebody creates a newsgroup.  Sites that do not will never
see the articles posted to nonexistent newsgroups.  Perhaps I should post
a list of all net and fa newsgroups?  In the meantime, the following
newsgroups DO NOT EXIST and PLEASE DO NOT POST TO THEM!
	net.unix-wizards	(mail to ucbvax!unix-wizards)
	net.info-cpm		(mail to ucbvax!info-cpm)
	net.joke		(use net.jokes)
	fa.editor-people	(mail to ucbvax!editor-p)
	net.unix-stuff		(mail to ucbvax!unix-wizards)
	net.info-terms		(mail to ucbvax!info-terms)
