Stupid Question About Newsgroups
There are a fair number of rec.aviation.* newsgroups (like announce,
answers, questions, etc.) that have never had a single post as long as I've been around the 'net. In the first place, why don't they just go away? In the second place, it would be nice to have a couple of specialized newsgroups for "hot" topics like maintenance, avionics, and a few others. Why can't the unused newsgroup name be changed to reflect the needs of the residents of these ngs? Jim |

Check out the newsgroup FAQs at http://www.faqs.org/faqs/usenet/crea...wsgroups/part1 Because rec.* is one of the "Big Eight" there are guidelines. Yes, I know that on Usenet we really don't pay that much attention to the rules most of the time, but for the Big Eight, most ISP system admins do adhere, or at least try to. |
