I have changed the program that injects the unix-unanimous mailing list
into this group so that the default will be 'ont'.  If anyone on the
list wants their message to get wider distribution, they can simply add:
	Distribution: can
to the headers of their message.  If anyone is greatly offended by
this, mail me.  (Or if anyone thinks it should be changed to tor, mail
me too.)

I think there has been SOME useful discussion related to
/usr/group/cdn that has taken place in this group, if only hanging out
dirty laundry between Lyndon and myself!  I should also point out that
unix-unanimous IS part of /usr/group/cdn, though admittedly a
relatively small (though certainly vocal!), local to Toronto, part.

With a new board to be elected to /usr/group/cdn next week, I continue
to hope that it will become (or evolve into) a truly national
organization, for which can.usrgroup seems like a useful sounding board.

As for comp.org.usrgroup with can distribution, /usr/group is
currently trying to change its name to UniForum or some such, and I
don't see that there's really much in common between /u/g/c & /u/g.

Lyndon suggests changing the name to can.unix.  Interestingly, /u/g/c
is also considering a name change.  Some board members (notably those
employed by multinationals) are keen to see us continue to mimic the
U.S. (oops, I mean WORLD, of course, but they're the same aren't they?
:-) organization and call ourselves 'Uniforum Canada' or some such.
Some others of us have suggested 'Unix Canada'.  So we're ahead of you
already Lyndon :-)
