news:comp.archives.msdos.announce (Moderated)
---------------------------------------------
This moderated newsgroup is for the upload announcements and
related information from MS-DOS archive sites (also called FTP
sites) with Public Domain, Freeware and Shareware material. The
subjects include the upload announcements via the MS-DOS FTP site
moderators, the MS-DOS sites' periodical summaries, potential policy
statements and downtime warnings, and the MS-DOS FTP site
moderators' reports about the connectivity problems with their
archive sites. Unix announcements conform only if they directly
relate to transferring or handling the MS-DOS material from the
MS-DOS FTP sites.
Principal Moderator: Keith Petersen (w8sdz@Simtel.Net)
Co-Moderator: Timo Salmi (ts@uwasa.fi) + FAQ maintenance
Joined Moderators: Current listed on the regularly posted FAQ
Further clarification:
The purpose of news:comp.archives.msdos.announce is to be a ONE-WAY
channel for MS-DOS upload announcements which the moderators handle,
and other one-way, occasional information relating to MS-DOS archive
sites. The moderators will therefore not be handling users'
discussion material, questions, and replies. The unmoderated
news:comp.archives.msdos.d newsgroup (see below) will cover that
aspect.
All submissions to news:comp.archives.msdos.announce originating
from those not authorized as Co-Moderators or Joined Moderators
should be mailed to: ms-news-request@Simtel.Net where they will be
reviewed and posted by the Principal Moderator of this newsgroup.
