Awatmath.1227 net.general utzoo!decvax!watmath!bstempleton Thu Dec 10 00:56:52 1981 net. vs fa. I have noticed a number of people taking old groups that were fa. and making them net. (net.unix-wizards and net.info-cpm) This is confusing and annoying to users. You can still submit something to fa.group if you want it to only go to the arpanet and not the usenet on most sites. Maintaining files of active newsgroups and informing users of changes (which I do) is a pain when this goes on. There's nothing wrong with starting up a new newsgroup, but things shouldn't be a complete mishmash.
