I read this group on bit.listserv.techwr-l. I have my listserv options
set to "nomail" so my inbox doesn't get cluttered. I prefer it that way.
Would you please tell me on which public newsgroup you saw that
bit.listserv was going to stop mirroring techwr-l?
Be aware that there is a scam making the rounds of Usenet, and all
newsgroups are getting these bogus messages saying the newsgroup is
going to be discontinued. Is this what you were referring to, or did you
see something else I should know about? Thanks.
