- I usually posted the FAQ List by mailing to
- comp-sys-atari-8bit@ucbvax.berkeley.edu, the way those on the IA8 Digest
- have had to do it, just because I found it more convenient. However, my
- attempted postings had bounced the last two months, so I e-mailed
- postmaster@ucbvax.berkeley.edu to see what I could learn. I received this:
-
- >There are very few mail address for news groups any longer.....Here is the
- >standard reply as to why.
- >
- >ucbvax does have some selected news groups set up for posting to via mail.
- >This is intended for local use and not as a General Service...
- >We don't have the facilities in either Disk Space or CPU power to provide
- >this as a public service. Please post news through you own local news
- >server.
-
- This effectly means that subscribers of the Info-Atari8 Digest, who do not
- have Usenet access, are presently unable to participate in this discussion
- group.
-
- We to either a) Find another address that functions the way
- comp-sys-atari-8bit@ucbvax.berkeley.edu used to, or b) Get that Digest
- software to automatically cross-post to Usenet, like it should have been
- doing all along.
-
- Does anyone have any suggestions? Remember that it's John Dunning,
- jrd@stony-brook.scrc.symbolics.com that maintains the Digestifier.
