Hi Folks, We just had a meeting within ARDI and it's clear that I was premature in embracing this alt group. We appreciate the effort you've gone towards creating the group, but feel that the presence of an alt group may harm our chances of getting an official comp. group. Furthermore our chances of getting a comp. group are high and it makes sense for there to be just one group that is available to everyone than two groups, one of which is available only to those sites which receive alt. The reason that many of you aren't already receiving alt.comp.emulator.executor is that the control message for creating the group contained less information than many sites require. Because we believe that the presence of the alt group will adversely affect our chances of having a comp group created, we hope that further control messages will _not_ be sent and as such alt.comp.emulators.executor will die a peaceful death (and that its death won't be used as an argument against the comp. group). Ian will soon be putting out the Request For Discussion for the comp. group. Sorry for the trouble. News stuff can be complicated. --Cliff
