Many of these look like normal cross-posted articles (i.e. "car for sale in new jersey" posted to misc.wanted, nj.wanted, etc., will often be posted everywhere "misc" goes, not just nj.) However, a few newsgroups Cal lists don't look like this is what happened, in particular some AT&T groups. I'm posting this followup with "Followup-To: att.news" so it'll mostly stay in AT&T; remember to change it if you want it to go outside. (Apologies to the rest of the world here.) The following newsgroups aren't likely to be cross-posted to anything - could you send me copies of the articles, if you still have them? att.lib.cmm att.lib.cmp att.lib.mas The remaining groups, listed below for reference, are the type that generate a lot of cross-postings. For instance, several articles were listed multiple times below (cars for sale in nj.wanted, att.misc, jobs available in ba.*, ca.*, *.jobs) alt.config alt.drugs alt.sources alt.test amdahl.general athena.forsale att.emacs att.general att.lan att.lang att.misc att.sources att.sys.3b att.lib.cmm att.lib.cmp att.lib.mas att.sys.blit att.sys.misc att.sys.pc6300 att.sys.unixpc att.test att.unix att.wanted att.windows.news att.workplace aus.computers aus.mac aus.wanted austin.general ba.food ba.general ba.news ba.news.config ba.politics ba.seminars ba.singles ba.test ba.wanted bcr.wanted bell.general bit.listserv.info brown.general btl.general bu.general ca.general ca.news ca.test ca.unix ca.wanted cair.micro-suppor can.general can.jobs cat.bbs cat.mag chi.general chi.wanted co.general dc.general dr.clubs.ski dr.forsale dr.general dr.misc dr.wanted eikonix.general eunet.general fj.jobs fj.lang.misc fj.wanted fluke.micro ga.general hi.hawaiiana ih.general ih.micro ih.misc ih.wanted isle.general kw.jobs ky.news labs.mac labs.talk lfl.general lfl.movies local.garbage local.general md.general mh.general mh.wanted micro.apple micro.cpm micro.general micro.ibm micro.osborne micro.ti mit.bboard mn.general mot.general ncr.asset ne.jobs ne.news ne.wanted nj.events nj.general nj.wanted ny.general ont.general ont.jobs ont.sf-lovers ont.test or.general pb.fyi pb.general pb.unix pb.wanted pdx.general pnw.general praxis.general princeton.general pyr.news rencon.general rpi.test rpi.unix ru.flame ru.general ru.personals sdnet.general sdnet.jobs seattle.general sf.wanted su.market su.news swnet.wanted sys.ibm.pc tek.general tek.wanted to.arizona to.nicmad to.ptsfa to.u1100a to.ulysses tor.general triangle.jobs tv.general uc.general ucb.general uk.empire uk.general uk.news unido.atari unix-pc.general unix-pc.sources ut.text uwcsa.general uwm.volleyball vnet.uupc wny.general works.mac :-- : Cal Thixton : Sun Microsystems Dallas : {ucbvax,decvax,decwrl,ihnp4}!sun!{,texsun!}tj : {ut-sally,convex,smu}!texsun!tj tj@sun.com -- # Thanks; # Bill Stewart, AT&T Bell Labs 2G218, Holmdel NJ 1-201-949-0705 ihnp4!ho95c!wcs
