content, and you've nothing better to contribute, buzz off!  [ 1/2 :-) ]

In actual fact the traffic is split into two categories:

	1. Those messages gatewayed from unix-unanimous@moore.uucp
	   by the unix-unanimous mailing list injector at tmsoft.
	2. Those messages posted to the newsgroup directly (like
	   this one)

Constructive critisim is more than welcome!

What good would that do?  Then we'd be having interesting
discussions about unix that the rest of the world would want to
join in on, and so why not discuss those things in
comp.unix.questions.  The point of discussing them on a local
mailing list was so people could get answers from people they
knew, or had at least seen before.

The reason the group was created with can distribution, rather
than ont or tor was to show the rest of the nation what we were
doing, encourage participation, and perhaps help others do similar
things.  The non-Toronto faction isn't the only group that feels
wronged.... some people here feel it was wrong to start spilling
what had been more intimate communications out to an unknown
audience.  I'm one of the ones sitting the fence, which means I
like the status quo.

Anyway, I don't think any of us are juvenile enough to fight
rmgroup/newgoup wars.  :-)

IT IS BEING USED FOR ITS INTENDED PURPOSE!
