Hi friends,

I always thought that the discussion list SAS-L and
the Usenet newsgroup comp.soft-sys.sas were virtually mirrors
of each other and I thought they were in the past.
But comparing both of them now (I just had a glimpse on
the newsgroup) they seem to be entirely different, unlinked.

I can access the newsgroup using the news reader Nomad News
and the news server news.eternal-september.org or via
the web interface http://www.webuse.net (the other alternative
http://newsgroups.derkeiler.com does not show comp.soft-sys.sas).

The newsgroups seems to be a little less busy than SAS-L,
but still worth to read and to participate in too, time permitting.
Can anyone of you tell me more about the relation between both
during the course of the past time?

Regards - Jim.

Hi Jim,
for some reason the link went down and we're working to bring it back
up. Longer term, I am going to have to find another way to make the
link as UGA wants to get rid of its news server. So we'll see.
