In the wake of Randy Dodge's departure, I'm wondering who the new news admin
is for the nf.* hierarchy, and how we contact them - or, if indeed we even
have one any longer?

Any responses (especially from the new admin :)) would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Chris

Just to clarify - I'm not physically gone but have decided to phase-out my

at MUN but I won't be the visible face of news administration. I don't know
if there's any other local news admins since I believe Alian't news servers
are in New Brunswick and I haven't heard from anyone at Rogers in awhile -
where are Rogers' news servers?

Seems I've been the only one to enforce a mandate for the past few years
and it's time to leave that behind. The newsgroups aren't what they once
were and people are way too touchy and too easily fooled by the sharks that
are hanging out in the groups.

If I have to, I'll step in but perhaps not in a timely fashion. Any other
news admins listening ?

It's only a rumour that they even have one:) I think with the speed we as
readers get; it is probably leakage from a real news server elsewhere.

Anyway it's good to know that you are still in harness. Given that GS and I
are the exact same age and you and he were/are peers; I thought you may have
given retirement a shot.
