I suggest that those of us who want a moderated forum set one up -- it would be sort of neat to put it in alt, but I think news.admin.{funny,useful,real,only} would fit. Once a moderated version exists, all useful traffic will probably move over there. When news.admin dies, the moderated one can be renamed. This is more steps, but it will get us where we want to go. -- Paul Vixie Work: vixie@decwrl.dec.com decwrl!vixie +1 415 853 6600 Play: paul@vixie.sf.ca.us vixie!paul +1 415 864 7013
