The backbone people seem to feel that the net load is lower with mod groups than net groups, and at this point I am not sure I disagree. I volunteered a while ago to moderate this, hoping someone has some software to help in digesting. I am still game for this, but it will have to wait until I move to a new system (should be early January). I recommend those who want a forum for discussion of operating systems topics to followup to net.news.group with an affirmative vote. -- Usenet: {dalcs dciem garfield musocs qucis sask titan trigraph ubc-vision utzoo watmath allegra cornell decvax decwrl ihnp4 uw-beaver} !utcsri!mason Dave Mason, U.
