Acbosgd.166 net.general utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!mhtsa!eagle!ihnss!cbosg!cbosgd!mark Wed Dec 2 11:50:20 1981 proposed new newsgroups net.jokes, in which people can post a good joke they just heard. net.rumors, in which rumors of all kinds can flit about. (This might be a good example of a need for subgroups, e.g. net.rumors.dec, net.rumors.btl, net.rumors.hollywood, differentiating by what the rumors are about. net.rumors.btl would presumably be rumors about btl, and it's likely that mostly people outside btl would participate in this one, since if it's not a rumor btl people can say something.) we might give some thought to anonymous posting to net.rumors, although right now it isn't technically feasable. ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
