Hi Folks,
We just had a meeting within ARDI and it's clear that I was premature
in embracing this alt group. We appreciate the effort you've gone
towards creating the group, but feel that the presence of an alt group
may harm our chances of getting an official comp. group. Furthermore
our chances of getting a comp. group are high and it makes sense for
there to be just one group that is available to everyone than two
groups, one of which is available only to those sites which receive
alt.
The reason that many of you aren't already receiving
alt.comp.emulator.executor is that the control message for creating
the group contained less information than many sites require. Because
we believe that the presence of the alt group will adversely affect
our chances of having a comp group created, we hope that further
control messages will _not_ be sent and as such
alt.comp.emulators.executor will die a peaceful death (and that its
death won't be used as an argument against the comp. group).
Ian will soon be putting out the Request For Discussion for the
comp. group.
Sorry for the trouble. News stuff can be complicated.
