Hmmm, does MIT get alt.anonymous at least ? I understand alt.anonymous was created to serve a purpose similar to that of alt.privacy.anon-server, but at the moment it's a de facto equivalent of alt.anonymous.messages. alt.anonymous is somewhat better propagated than a.a.m, from what I've heard.

Nope, no alt.anonymous. 'Leastaways, not off the servers that the turist accounts use. And since I configured news on the machine, I'd love to hear if there are MIT servers that have a larger set than life.ai's.

You should request one or both groups from the MIT news admins. If users there want to read the group, they'll likely be quite happy to carry it.

Alas, I am but a turist at MIT, though one who helps maintain the turist machine. I'll be looking at getting a real newsfeed from elsewhere, but asking the MIT newsadmins for favors isn't in the cards. If anybody here has a bit of a stronger standing on campus, their asking would be way cool.

I'm a fairly well-known regular in alt.config, and I believe I can probably recruit some prominent news admins to send booster newgroup messages for alt.anonymous.messages. Apart from that, it's a matter of people asking their local news admins to pick up the group if they aren't already carrying it.

That would be a most excellent thing to do, regardless of how it affects my situation. - -- Todd Masco | It's difficult to be loud about keeping your enumerated cactus@hks.net | rights when you're busy exercising your unenumerated ones. cactus@bb.com | http://www.hks.net/~cactus/cactus.html - --- [This message has been signed by an auto-signing service.
