Some time earlier this month, people were discussing a change to daily
acf posting that I made. What was the outcome of that discussion?

Subject: alt.comp.freeware information 17 December 2004

I posted this:

IMO this revision accords with the current consensus of opinion:

This is the ALT.COMP.FREEWARE newsgroup. FREEWARE posts are welcome.

alt.comp.freeware newsgroups include:
alt.comp.freeware (ACF)
alt.comp.freeware.games (ACFG)
alt.comp.freeware.discussion (ACF's chat room)
alt.comp.freeware.gdp (inactive)
alt.binaries.freeware (related binary newsgroup)

I'd be inclined to have that first line set off, as top line, and to
move the list of other groups down to the end of the post.

alt.binaries.freeware (related binary newsgroup)

This is definitely an improvement over before. Provides more complete
info on freeware alt groups.

With the groups listing positioned at the end of the post, a tad more
annotation would be workable (if it were wanted?), without it being too
much distracting clutter. But I am not sure what would make for a good
form of wording for adding a brief warning-type note on binary groups.

Noted.

I have revised the body of my text, and this is what will be posted
subsequently.

Curiously I noticed that my server at work has stopped making posts. Um,
it seems that it has decided to take a little winter break of its own,
which can't be good.

Thanks Mark. :)

Servers are not supposed to hibernate. . . do you think you can
reason with it?
