I've posted a version control message to mod.msg.ctl to see how far
mod.all was being distributed.  It seems to have made it to about 1/4
of Usenet.  The major parts of Usenet that are getting mod.all are
Bell Labs in Indian Hill, Whippany, Murray Hill, plus most of New
England and Canada.  Backbone sites around hplabs, hao, we13, burl, and
duke also get it.

Missing from the response list are the areas around tektronix,
uw-beaver, zehntel, sdcrdcf, sdcsvax, spanky, and all of Europe.
In addition, large parts of the net were missing, including almost
all of Silicon Valley, the North Carolina area, Bell Labs Holmdel,
Western Electric and the BOC's, Purdue (except for pur-ee), Berkeley,
parts near cca, ima, ittvax, neighbors of decvax, philabs, utcsrgv,
and seismo, and most of Bell Labs in Piscataway.

Unless there was some problem with sending mail back (I suspect this
was the case at Purdue), these sites should double check with their
neighbors to make sure mod.all is transmitted to the same places
that net.all is.

I got a few requests last time asking what mod.all is, apparently
many of you missed it the first time around.  mod.all is a class
of newsgroups that is treated as moderated, just like net.announce,
by the 2.10 netnews software.  It will be used for additional
moderated newsgroups.  The newsgroup mod.ber has been created,
and Brian Redman is posting summaries of other newsgroups to it.
The summaries are for those of us who have had to unsubscribe to
interesting newsgroups because we can't keep up with the volume,
yet want to know if anything interesting happens.

I'm going to post another newgroup for mod.ber, since the first one
seems to have gotten lost.  But this still won't do any good as long
as mod.all isn't being transmitted.  Please fix your sys files!
