I have received several requests from USENET
subscribers for the scripts to the popular
radio program "Stardate", written by Deborah Byrd
here at the University of Texas McDonald Observatory.
Currently, the scripts are posted to the newsgroup
"ut.stardate", which is distributed on University
of Texas machines only.  There is one script per day.

To satisfy these requests, and to provide other USENET-ers
the chance to read them, I am going to start posting
them to the newsgroup "net.astro".
However, in order to keep "Stardate"
from conflicting with other discussions on "net.astro",
I propose that a new newsgroup be formed,
"net.astro.stardate", which would provide a forum for
the scripts and perhaps discussion also.

Discussion is in order concerning the postings and where they
belong.  I believe there is sufficient interest to support a
separate "net.all" newsgroup, but if the consensus seems to be that
the scripts should not be posted to any "net.all" newsgroup
then so be it.

The postings to "net.astro" will continue until there
is enough hue and cry to stop or until "net.astro.stardate"
is formed.

The scripts will continue to be posted to "ut.stardate"
concurrently, until the verdict is in on "net.astro.stardate".
