- 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.
