What about the groups formed from the old fa.all stuff?  Those
of you who deal with the link how would this effect the ARPANET
link?  If this could be done it would allow me (the site admin at pid)
to permit posting to mod groups through the news software. (our mailer
would require a lot of work on the moderator to make it work and I do not
have the time so I turned off posting to mod groups).

PS: Don't all changes of software SEEM simple  :-)
