1586.0. "1586.* deleted" by SCAACT::AINSLEY (Less than 150 kts. is TOO slow) Mon Sep 16 1991 16:50

1586.0 did not meet the criteria for a topic in DIGITAL.  However, the replies
included valuable information on DIAL and DEC_SECRETARY, so the moderators
decided to let it stay.  However, it soon turned into a bulletin board for
requests and was misleading people to believe that it was O.K. to enter such
requests in the conference.

As such, the entire note string has been deleted.  Please note that the DIGITAL
conference is NOT a bulletin board for finding people and/or equipment.  These
topics may be appropriate for MEIS::ASKENET.

While I don't know the original content of topic 1586.0 (obviously, it's been
deleted), it would be my opinion that ASKENET is not the appropriate place to
post topics on "finding people and/or equipment".

re: .1

Since you are not a moderator of the ASKENET conference, you might want to
check with one of the moderators of that conference, as I did, before making
such statements.

    I'm the co-moderator of ASKENET Bob refers to; as it happens I'm
    also a co-mod of DIGITAL.  ASKENET's purpose is for inquiries for
    which no other topical conference is suitable or available.  I
    felt that an inquiry as to where one could locate a piece of equipment
    in the company, one which is apparently not a DEC product, was indeed
    appropriate for ASKENET.  I'd hesitate to recommend it for people
    trying to find other people, though.

I never claimed to be a moderator of ASKENET.  I merely stated my opinion
which, last time I looked, didn't require checking with anyone.  Geesh...

Thanx, Steve, for clarifying when ASKENET may be an appropriate conference
for posting such requests for information.  It was not clear in the base
note.
