I think using a NEWS GROUP for 16K communication is a bad idea.
It makes the information inaccessible to the 16k machines unless
each of them decides to be a news site with all the extra overhead
that that implies.  Also it is not easy from the more remote 16k
machines to post to this newsgroup.

The number of people interested in 16k systems is small and well known.
I think a mail alias on utcsri called say  local16k would be a much
more effective and useful communication mechanism than this news group.
