Won't we need to change the .ngfile also? Also is ALL an acceptable newsgroup
on the left side of the dot such that ALL.ALL will catch everything?


Rusty is right (or is that "Rusty is Wright"?) - we have ALL in our .ngfile
so I tend to forget this. ALL.ALL may or may not work, but ALL certainly does.

I plan to make the change on Tuesday unless something horrible happens.

[sam...@msn.com]

okay, but I bet something horrible happens.

[Benjamin]

This is so cool this is the oldest Usenet article in the Google Groups
Archive I has a very big changes of being the oldest one in archived in
the world.

[daniel...@gmail.com]

Apparently nothing too horrible happened after they changed the .ngfile
because we're still pecking out our little newsgroup messages all over
the world 24 years later.

[pbsof...@yahoo.com]

Gosh I hope not....

btw these new 300baud modems are lightening fast, huh?
But you need 256kb of system ram to use them, my box only has

Hi,
Sorry for the long time to reply...
Put ALL.ALL.ALL in the .ngfile and the dog can get in.

[brian...@gmail.com]

Mark,
Yes, the .ngfile needs to be fixed and maybe we should use .net instead
of .ALL, talk to the guys and let me know what you think.
By the way, my friggin 8-track just went out in my pinto so i think i'm
going to pick me up one of those new Casset Tape decks. Those things
are outta sight, I hear Rick James has one! He's my hero, anyway get
back to me soon on that other stuff.

Ups, that's really an old thread, isn't it?

[Mahfrot]

I think it is "Rusty is Wright." You are correct.

[jh...@columbus.rr.com]

Well, here it is over 23 years later, and I am still looking for that
change, Mark. :)

[Drew B.]

Yeah, but it's not the oldest one on the net. Look at this site:

The earliest post at that site is from May 27, 1980

Lots of other ancient stuff on there too...
