- I am stepping down as the moderator of comp.sources.unix, and turning
- the job over to Paul Vixie with Nick Lai and Mike Stump. The new
- email address is
- unix-sources-moderator@pa.dec.com
- I will forward any mail that I get. It will take them awhile to get
- organized, so please be patient for just a bit longer.
-
- The rest of this article is more personal; feel free to skip it.
-
-
- I apologize for the poor service I have provided, and look forward to the
- contributions of the new moderators.
-
- I have made many valuable contributions to Usenet source distributions
- (posting formats, archive maintenance, etc), and would like to continue to
- do so. Unfortunately, I do not see a time when I will be able to make the
- kind of commitment that is needed, and it is not fair to continue to hold
- the net hostage to one person's ego. (That is why I worked to get
- comp.sources.misc created at the great renaming, and got the group its
- first moderator.)
-
- If I am most satisfied with anything, it is how I have always kept the
- this newsgroup on track with its charter. I disclaimed all copyrights,
- actively sought out useful packages to post, did not editorialize (except
- favorably) and -- most of all -- tried to direct the credit to the people
- who truly deserve it: those who write programs and make the sources
- freely redistributable.
-
- I want to thank everyone for the kind words I have received over the
- years; it is very nice to know that the volunteer work has been
- appreciated. Please join me in giving a warm welcome to "Paul and the
- boys." I am sure they will bring this newsgroup to new heights of
- usefulness.
