By now, most of you have probably seen the notice that the w groups are being renamed to be alt.discuss.whatever. Yes, it's real.

I'm sorry I wasn't able to prevent this. It was the best compromise I could get. I'll try to get a system set up to allow you to create and delete newsgroups without my assistance.

Since I will no longer be able to work with you on the newsgroups, this is my farewell. Any questions or comments that you send to me (other than those of a personal nature) will be forwarded to wecare for resolution.

It's been fun,
Dmack
