The same thing happened with the "Apollo" (no connection) mailing list on the ArpaNet: it started because people wanted to discuss the new Apollo computer, but it quickly became more general and was renamed WorkS (for workstation). Cheers, John > >From purdue!cak Fri Sep 18 21:36:39 1981 To: research!chico!trb Subject: net.space Cc: research!chico!ber research!sjb I would agree with ber on this one. net.columbia properly immortalizes the origins of the newsgroup (remember dsw? now that that is cleared up, let's leave another one around for future archaeologists). net.spac is a good second choice.

I could go with net.space or net.astro, either one.
