- : comp.binaries.cbm lately?
-
- There has benn nothing in comp.binaries.cbm for ages upon endless ages, and
- personally I think the newsgroup has gone defunct. It's moderated; and
- apparently the moderator died (figuratively if not literally), so not only
- is there Nothing There, but posting to it is completely useless. I still keep
- it on my subscriptions list out of simple Wishful Thinking, but if you aren't
- that hopeful, you might as well dump it. I'm sure that if something ever
- actually APPEARED there, the people who still carry the Null Newsgroup would
- give a yell -- or more likely several loud yells -- of astonishment, so you
- really wouldn't be Missing Anything by deleting it...
