- [from Gary Cziko 921123.2223 GMT]
-
- I occasionally check the Usenet (NetNews) version of CSGnet (where we are
- group "bit.listserv.csg-l") to see if it is keeping up with all the
- activity of CSGnet. I have no idea of how many people participate on
- CSGnet via Usenet, but it does offer some advantages over the LISTSERV
- format, particularly for those users with limited mail storage (other it
- does seem to run several hours behind the LISTSERV setup).
-
- To my horror, I discovered that when I checked CSGnet through my local
- Usenet node there was not a trace of Bill Powers! Among messages dating
- back to 921117 there Marken, Taylor, Bourbon, Ford, Nevin, Jackson, etc.
- etc., and even Cziko. But nowhwere was a post from Bill Powers to be seen.
-
- All mail sent to CSGnet is supposed to be automatically sent to the Usenet
- new group. How mail from Bill Powers is being selectively discriminated
- against is beyond my comprehension.
-
- I would greatly appreciate if others on CSGnet who have access to Usenet
- (NetNews) check out "bit.listserv.csg-l" and let me know via direct mail
- whether they can find Bill Powers or if anybody else appears missing.
- Hopefully, I will learn that there is something quirky about my local
- machine and Bill is getting out on other Usenet systems.--Gary
