Please do not flame sob@bmc.tmc.edu (Stan Barber). Besides being the moderator of comp.sys.concurrent, he has made significant contributions to the Usenet software (e.g., porting NNTP) and has been an active, helpful Net citizen for a long time. Stan posted an article explaining the masscomp-->concurrent newsgroup name change and explained that it was gone over in the c.s.masscomp newsgroup. That article may not have reached your site yet. I agree that the rmgroup was somewhat confusing, especially since it issued from "bmc!usenet" instead of (say) "sob@tmc.edu", but I think the issue is sufficiently explained at this point (though there is still the problem of the mailpaths backbone sites). -- Michael C.
