I agree with Darrin.

I vote *no* for any moderation, though rush will carry and unofficially
archive unix-pc.ALL (this means any new groups as well) from now on, and
has been doing so for a while.

We sure do need an archive site, though.  I'd be willing to send what I've
got online to anyone who wished to poll.  I never expire unix-pc newsgroups.
I have 2400 Baud UUCP.  I'm normally in San Diego area although until mid-
september I'm in southern Idaho.  (yuck |-)  I'll see California this week
though!!!!!!

If someone has pointers on getting UUCP/smail/news set up on SUN 3/50s or 
4/110s, please let me know, since I will do this soon here in Southern Idaho.
I've got a trailbalzer TB+ on it's way here now.  It'll be running on suns
running 4.2 unix and *NO HDB* |-/.  Can the Trailblazer talk on DARPA net
using X.25?  How do I get access to this?  Anybody know how to get a registered 
domain?  I tried mailing to someone@stargate, but never heard anything.

Sorry about the length of this posting.
