- I'm sorry, I've been out of alt.config for a while. Who is "becker" ?
-
- Would TMC be willing to configure its news transport to unconditionally
- accept control messages in "alt.*" from tale@uunet.uu.net? You're probably
- right that noone can kill old alt groups, but would could get a band of us
- together who all trust a central authority and at least keep the cruft out
- of the bigger news servers. My active file has 6,510 lines in it, and I'm
- feeling pressed by my kernel to make each "active" line worthwhile.
