- Apparently you missed the whole point of Mike's excercise; the reason
- he posted this was to make excuses and stall for time in the hopes
- that I would go away and this group wouldn't come into place. The
- University of Alaska Computer Network (UACN), which has run the news
- server for *.alaska.edu for the past ~18 months, has consistently
- refused all requests from U of A students to put new newsgroups into
- place, both in local newsgroups and in alt.*. However, they have
- honored every request made by staff/faculty/administrators, which has
- led to tons of empty groups taking up space and serving no purpose.

- You have. I've brought to your attention countless times all of the
- aforementioned empty, useless local groups that were created on a whim
- for administrative purposes.

- Really? When? Prove it.

- Of course, this statement doesn't explain the existence of:
-
- ua.admin.ir
- ua.cslg
- ua.modtest
- ua.nwnet
- ua.super.admin
- ua.super.science
- ua.super.selection
- ua.sw.employee
- uaf.class.ais.312
- uaf.class.ais.412
- uaf.strategic-planning
- uas.general
-
- All of which were created without any discussion that I was aware of,
- and which combined sport a total active article count of approximately
- zero. Oh, I forgot that hypocrisy doesn't exist, and is simply a
- figment of my imagination.
