Subject: Re: Early comments for merged document RFC 977 plus extensions draft
Your comments concerning "Distributsions" versus "Distribution" will be addressed in the next release of the extensions draft. When RFC 977 was written, the naming nomenclature of the newsgroups was significantly different that it is now (this was before the "great renaming"). The intent was to search for articles by name in a particular distribution. Before the great renaming, the distribution was part of the name. After the great renaming, the distribution was not necessarily part of the name. What is clear is that this part of RFC 977 is in need of clarification by the effort of the IETF working group. Thanks for pointing out this need. -- Stan | Academ Consulting Services |internet: sob@academ.com Olan | For more info on academ, see this |uucp: {mcsun|amdahl}!academ!sob Barber | URL- http://www.academ.com/academ |Opinions expressed are only mine.
