   Some of my favourite newsgroups have had no articles make it to our site
(uvicctr) for months.  Our system administrator feels some essential piece
of software may have been lost during the transition last November.  Our news
from the US comes from uw-beaver through ssc-vax.  Enquiries seem to show 
similar problems at ssc-vax.  The empty newsgroups that I know of are:

	mod.computers.macintosh
	mod.mac
	mod.mac.sources
	mod.mac.binaries
	comp.sources.mac
	mod.risks
	
Does anybody know why many receive articles with no problem but some receive
nothing?  Please reply to {ubc-vision|uw-beaver}!uvicctr!jholland
