Acbosg.118 net.general utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!mhtsa!ihnss!cbosg!mark Mon Aug 17 13:10:11 1981 duplicate newsgroups If there are any sites out there who still haven't changed their .sys and .ngfiles to allow net.ALL as well as NET.all, they should consider themselves in violation of usenet standards. There are now sites running the new netnews (which folds everything into lower case) on usenet, and such sites (1) cannot post to uppercase newsgroups, and (2) get two copies of articles posted to things like net.general,NET.general. People should now assume that all sites allow net.ALL and should no longer post to NET.anything. Likewise please don't post to things like NET.general,net.general because of the duplication. ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
