Well, if the m.p.* hierarchy vanishes, I expect this group to really pick up some lost steam!

It does seem that E-S has a, how to be charitable, "manual" system of updating its passwords. I've seen that take anywhere from 6-10 hours, so you must've hit 'em when they're awake. <g> Anyway, for we who can live with long-term passwords, that shouldn't be an issue.

I'd presume they simply schedule the 'bot to run on a fixed schedule of 3-4X/day which, for a free service of something no more critical than usenet, seems perfectly adequate to me... :) BTW, anybody of those really involved ever contact the comp.* gurus about the offer to fasttrack some groups? Or, is it simply going to be a wait and see thing after all? --

Or, is it simply going to be a wait and see > thing after all? Personally, I've yet to hear the need justified. (There, I said it. <g>) Do we really think this group is going to overflow? If there is someone wanting to put together a proposal, I can sure help in seeing that it gets to the right folks. But I know very little about the actual process and procedures. |
