Amhuxa.314 net.news utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!mhtsa!eagle!mhuxa!presley Mon Nov 30 15:01:34 1981 net.* names I personally prefer the specialized groups. While we're discussing this subject, I'd like to see a method established to name a new newsgroup (if there is one, already, ignore the rest of this message). If someone wants to start a new newsgroup, he should announce his intentions over net.news or net.general, suggesting a name. If there are no complaints after a decent interval (2-3 days?), that's that. It's possible that someone would come up with a better name or point out that such a group already exists with a different name. ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
