From: janl@ifi.uio.no (Nicolai Langfeldt) Subject: Of c.o.l volume, split proposals and KILL files Date: Mon, 14 Dec 1992 09:19:55 GMT
Yes, the volume on comp.os.linux is high. And splits have been
proposed numerous times. We even had a vote on splitting. All we voted
thru was the creation of comp.os.linux.announce (bug your admin if you
haven't gotten it yet). According to the usenet guidelines we will
have to wait 6 months (yeah, I think it was 6 months) before the next
split vote, so there us no use in proposing splits and complaining
about volume until then...
In the meantime I have put this in my c.o.l kill file: "/[Ss]plit/:j",
you can do that too! And use the kill/junk features of your news
reader liberaly, you don't have to read _all_ that passes thru c.o.l.
Thank you!
Nicolai, sick of endless split proposals...
