Aalice.362 net.columbia utcsrgv!utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!mhtsa!alice!sjb Sun Jan 10 01:08:53 1982 net.columbia and fa.space Well, for one thing, I do agree that most of the stuff passing through here is news, but it is not all news -- it is also all not about the STS, but the whole business of the name net.columbia was taken care of early in its life. I would like to express my hopes again that the two (net.columbia and space at mc) remain separate things. While I do enjoy reading both, I'd rather have all the `news' (and whatever else comes in -- remember: This is not restricted!) come as separate articles as soon as possible and all the discussion and stuff like that in the space digest come as a digest (it makes it a lot easier to follow along what's happening) Again -- the critical thing here is distribution time, especially when it nears launch time. At that time, things can be current one minute and old news the next (even a delay of a day is no good). ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
