Path: utzoo!mnetor!uunet!husc6!ncar!ames!pasteur!ucbvax!DOPEY.CS.UNC.EDU!davisy From: davisy@DOPEY.CS.UNC.EDU (York Davis) Newsgroups: comp.sys.workstations Subject: Comp.sys.suns.unmod Message-ID: <1607@thorin.cs.unc.edu> Date: 8 Mar 88 16:25:53 GMT Sender: usenet@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Organization: The Internet Lines: 26 Approved: works@rutgers.edu In an attempt to create an unmoderated newsgroup for the Sun-related computer systems, I am posting this article. The only newsgroup presently available for posting general Sun-related news is comp.sys.sun, which is a moderated newsgroup. An unmoderated newsgroup is needed, because a) posting via the moderated newsgroup is slow -- the moderator lets messages sit around too long before posting to comp.sys.sun. b) moderated newsgroups cannot be read and processed on an article-by-article basis with rn and various other news-reading programs. c) Many people, myself included, object to moderation on principle and to the moderation in comp.sys.sun in particular. 2) I suggest comp.sys.sun.unmod as a name for this group. To vote for the new newsgroup send email to: davisy@cs.unc.edu ==> ARPA Net and CS Net {...}!uunet!mcnc!unc!davisy ==> UUCP I would like for anyone with suggestions or comments about such a newsgroup to also send email.
