While that is true, I think part of the point is also to create a postgresql big8 newsgroup. > Creating a new group with a different name will simply > confuse matters on those servers that already carry c.d.p.general. I don't think that is an insurmountable problem if it were actually desirable that the name be changed. Most of the participants on on the list, and thus would be unaffected. The rest use servers that have low or automatic standards for group creation, so it wouldn't be too difficult to point people to the new group on those servers. Since people like the current name, though, it is clearly not worth the potential confusion <g>. -Mike ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
