comp.sci.sgi & info-iris

[James Helman]

Strangely, the comp.sys.sgi <-> info-iris connection is not mentioned
in the monthly list of gatewayed newsgroup posted to news.lists.  From
the message headers on the comp.sys.sgi side, it appears that ucbvax
is doing the list -> newsgroup forwarding.  The info-iris maintainers
at info-iris-request at vmb.brl.mil should know for sure.

Personally, I wish mailing lists would go away and die.  Messages
posted via mailing lists lack the niceties that news provides such as
including reference numbers for thread sorting and traversing.  Now
that NNTP has reduced news propagation delays, mailing lists have
little reason to exist.
