We are discussing what to do about the proliferation of newsgroups - if you want to be involved in this discussion please send me mail. (We might even, ahem, start a newsgroup.) I hope to have a list of active newsgroups, "officially blessed" (whatever that means), in a few days. The names net.rec.ski and net.rec.scuba sound fine to me - I should have said yes to this when it first happened. There will be a net.bugs.u3 for UNIX 3.0 bugs. I would love to hear from people on the outside who have 3.0 - I would like to get some unbiased outside opinions on the system. I stand on net.cycle, NOT net.mc or net.motorcycle. Sorry, but mc is to abbreviated for people to figure out what it is - to me, "mc" means the Macsyma Consortium machine at MIT. There is a newsgroup net.news.b for discussion of the B version of news, replacing the "gamma" mailing list we used to have here.
