Xref: pa.dec.com comp.sources.unix:1728 comp.sources.d:7821 news.misc:7563 Path: pa.dec.com!decwrl!uunet!papaya.bbn.com!rsalz From: rsalz@bbn.com (Rich Salz) Newsgroups: comp.sources.unix,comp.sources.d,news.misc Subject: v24INF3: New moderator Message-ID: <3895@litchi.bbn.com> Date: 14 Nov 91 18:28:31 GMT Followup-To: comp.sources.d Organization: BBN Systems and Technologies, Cambridge MA Lines: 38 Approved: rsalz@uunet.UU.NET Submitted-by: Rich $alz Posting-number: Volume 24, Info 3 Archive-name: /dev/null I am stepping down as the moderator of comp.sources.unix, and turning the job over to Paul Vixie with Nick Lai and Mike Stump. The new email address is unix-sources-moderator@pa.dec.com I will forward any mail that I get. It will take them awhile to get organized, so please be patient for just a bit longer. The rest of this article is more personal; feel free to skip it. I apologize for the poor service I have provided, and look forward to the contributions of the new moderators. I have made many valuable contributions to Usenet source distributions (posting formats, archive maintenance, etc), and would like to continue to do so. Unfortunately, I do not see a time when I will be able to make the kind of commitment that is needed, and it is not fair to continue to hold the net hostage to one person's ego. (That is why I worked to get comp.sources.misc created at the great renaming, and got the group its first moderator.) If I am most satisfied with anything, it is how I have always kept the this newsgroup on track with its charter. I disclaimed all copyrights, actively sought out useful packages to post, did not editorialize (except favorably) and -- most of all -- tried to direct the credit to the people who truly deserve it: those who write programs and make the sources freely redistributable. I want to thank everyone for the kind words I have received over the years; it is very nice to know that the volunteer work has been appreciated. Please join me in giving a warm welcome to "Paul and the boys." I am sure they will bring this newsgroup to new heights of usefulness. /rich $alz
