- No, these were intended to be distinct:
-
- uchi.cs.ai Internal to uchicago, used by the AI group (in the CS
- Dept) at the Univ. of Chicago
-
- chi.ai Intended for chi-regional communication on AI topics
- and related matters.
-
- So far as I recall, chi.ai was set up in reasonably regulation manner.
- I don't mean to be making any urgings about who should or shouldn't be
- carrying it, but may I suggest that you can now resolve the "best
- guess" from the passage quoted above.
-
- Certainly within the last year we've found it useful that chi.ai is
- (or at least was) received at Northwestern. I hope it still is. Are
- you sure it wouldn't be of interest to AI folks at Motorola? It's
- pretty low-traffic, which I suppose could be a plus or a minus.

- P.S. Could someone at Northwestern post a confirmation if you got this
- over chi.ai? Thanks.
