[ the heat is on - you better believe it ]

after Rich posted one edition of INFO-MAC again, he seems to have gone
back into "hibernation" - and his mail-box must be overflowing ....

so I sent a message to the POSTMASTER@SUMEX-AIM to inquire what he knew
about the matter and the problem.  He informed me that there will be a
meeting on Tuesday, Feb 11 by people involved with INFO-MAC.  I asked for
more info (who and the meeting's agenda), but could not find out more.

**** WOOSH ***** (watch for the flames)

this is ridiculous - some turkeys are ruining a good thing and there seems
to be nothing anyone can do about it.  They (whoever) effectively killed
the most active group on ARPA for over 3 months.  Is that supposed to be
a cooling down period to reduce traffic or what?  If there is a problem of
running this group and maintaining its archives at site SUMEX-AIM, I would
understand that (as should all - look at the volume), but, hey, let's hear
about it.  While I want to believe that there are "good reasons" for what's
going on, I sure would like to not have to spend much more time, wondering
about it, but rather hear the "bad news" - but don't expect me to be easily
convinced that not posting any explanations to INFO-MAC for this long a period
is reasonable and justified.

I'll double-post this to net.micro so that I reach the ARPA-community via
INFO-MICRO, the only alternative I can think of reaching some readers of
INFO-MAC there.

***** Phhhet ******
