comp.os.minix is the group for posting updates, bug fixes, context
diffs, etc.  You know it's an "official" update if it's been posted 
by Andy. Who would take tyime to moderate bug fixes, etc? Andy? I'm sure
he is busy enough without sorting bug fixes out of his mailbox and
checking if they really are fixes. Plus, bug fixes would still get
posted in comp.os.minix. So in effect, you really are suggesting that
comp.os.minix becomes moderated. The only plus to this ( and this is a
short term plus) is that all of these #%$^&@%#$ usres who can't edit
their followups properly wouldn't be flooding comp.os.minix with
pdp11/55 articles. Leave comp.os.minix as it is, there are already too
many moderated things in the world!
