X.25 - Carl Navarro: What happened to comp.dcom.voice-over-ip?Happened? On the server that vex uses, it's present with about100-200 messages per month (although if the half-dozen messages Isampled are representative, much of the traffic is cross-posted toother newsgroups). Google Groups shows hundreds of threads in thegroup this year.Pat Townson: How about it, Usenet authorities, i.e. John Levine, David Lawrence and others? Is it sitting there idle? If so, and you flag it moderated and send it here to me ...Uh, converting a newsgroup to moderated requires the same proceduresas starting a new group. But this is irrelevant here anyway, sincethe "if so" part is false.Mark Brader, Toronto | "This is an excellent opportunity formsb@vex.net | out-of-context quoting..." --Mike HardyMy text in this article is in the public domain.[TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: I have three sources of news feed.The one I checked last night had two very old messages in it. I didnot check the other two feeds until *after* I received and read yourmessage this morning. Those two feeds were pretty-well populated, soI guess no help is needed with comp.dcom.voice-over-IP. That's finewith me anyway. My impression, on first reading the original messagewas that c.d.voip was straggling along, going no where, so (a) I wasgoing to suggest to Jack Decker that he go in there (a little moreappropriate) and (b) I would try to get it going for him if that wasneeded.Just as when Bill Pfieffer passed away in 1999, leaving aDigest and newsgroup and web site sitting without a moderator to keepthem going, I kept all three of them going for awhile until someonenew could be found. I didn't really need that, nor the high bloodpressure and resulting aneurysm which followed it. Bill died in thecar accident in September, 1999, two months later, November 26, 1999plus various web sites (pioneers, internet-history, telecom, plusthis Digest and all of Bill's things the brain aneurysm damn neartook me away also; in fact as many of you know, I was out of circu-lation for a year so so while recovering. I still miss Bill quitea lot, but I am **so glad** others were found to take over his workon the net. And the more I think about it, I would have been a damnfool (hey! maybe I am anyway!) to take over c.d.voip even if it hadbeen in need, which apparently it is not. PAT]
