Perhaps your subscription was premature, since there just isn't much to be said about AIX/370 yet. But much of what I've seen on AIX-L is (presumably) common to all AIX platforms, things like porting GNU software, etc. > But that also means >that a fair amount of network resources have been wasted in shipping >those 99 articles that I cared nothing about to me. Is there any way >to address this type of problem without segregating the list? Maybe you should "subscribe" to AIX-L from the "news" side instead of receiving it as mail. I'm really thankful that AIX-L is one of those all-too-few discussions that's well joined between "mail" and "news". Is that still true MRG?
