Subject: Welcome to mod.singles
This is the introductory message to the new mod.singles newsgroup. This
group was created to be a moderated form of net.singles. Moderated
newsgroups are being used in an attempt to help reduce the number of
messages being sent to inappropriate groups and to reduce the number of
duplicate replies we see to certain questions that come up.
One hope for mod.singles is that it will be a group that can be read by
people that don't have time to read all of the information available in
net.singles right now. This group will not be replacing net.singles, it
will work in cooperation with it.
Since mod.singles is moderated, you cannot directly post followups to the
group. Instead, you should MAIL your followups to the address 'nsc!singles'
by whatever route can get you there. Nsc talks to many of the major sites
on the network including ihnp4, cbosgd, decwrl, and seismo. Sites that have
converted to 2.10.2 (highly recommended) can set up the postnews program to
do this for the users by adding the appropriate address in the 'moderators'
file. Administrators are strongly encouraged to do this.
People with comments about the administration of the group itself should
mail these to 'nsc!singles-request', not 'nsc!singles'. To start with I am
setting up some basic groundrules for the group. These can (and will)
change as feedback and experience show ways to improve things.
1) do not attempt to post to net.singles AND mod.singles. Except under
special dispensation of the moderator (me) nothing that I see in
net.singles will show up in mod.singles. This is to reduce duplication.
2) If I don't believe that an article is appropriate for the topic, I will
return it to you and suggest alternate groups or modifications that would
make it appropriate. If you disagree with me I'll be happy to let you
attempt to change my mind. If you don't, you can always post it to
net.singles instead.
3) I will do the minimum amount of editing possible to support the format
of mod.singles. I'm planning to distribute these as ARPANET digest style
messages so header information will be compressed. In some cases I will
try to condense excerpts from other articles when they are longer than they
need to be, but if possible I'll let you do it instead.
4) digests will come out as often as volume dictates, but at least once a
week unless I get no messages at all.
5) I will only post unique replies to a question. Duplicates of things that
have already been submitted or posted will be returned. If you still want
your voice to be heard, you can mail it directly to the asker, of course.
If you have comments or questions on this, please feel free to drop me a
line at 'nsc!singles-request' or 'nsc!chuqui'. I hope this group will be a
good thing for everyone but the only way I'll be able to make it that is
with feedback. Get those messages pouring in, folks!
