It shouldn't be hard to add a field to the Version B format called 'Group-Description:'; the contents of it could be requested when a new group was created, and the field could be rebroadcast to other sites when such a field was found in the in-' coming message. Earlier, I proposed a scheme to add other info to be associated with newsgroups; my fields (most notably a submission command, which would be 'mail ucbvax!group' for fa. groups) could also be propogated this way. Alternatively, a control message could be generated at the same time as the news item is entered; this could b a separate signal to add a comment field. ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
