A bargain is a bargain, I'll admit, but I'd expect to see this in Computer

I'm running an Amiga System, with Dillons UUCP software and Brian Clark's Cnet
Shell...  The newsgroups are automatically created because I regularly poll my
uunews:junk direcory...  If I didn't then that directory would just grow and
grow and grow...

No, I don't have a newgroup named "junk"...  And yes, newsgroups are created
automatically at this end.  It's not all that irresponsible because there is a
filter on the system, so only standard newsgroups will be passed (IE: alt.,
rec., talk., etc.)  And then on the machines I talk to they have a better
filter system than I do.  But with what I do have, I do have a few local
newsgroups that have never been sent out to another system, unless I wanted it
to go there...  It's not that bad overall...

>    Throw that software away and check your newsgroups file before you
>    accidentally create any bogus newsgroups.

If you feel like comming up with an alternative for the Amiga that the general
public can use, I'll consider it, but...  And I do check my newsgroups file on
a regular basis just in case...

>    Yes Virginia, chi.test lives.

And I've even got a few letters in my Email saying that chi.test was a
legitimate newsgroup... :)

Hi Gerry, I just knew you would respond to that message... :)

He is running the AmigaUUCP software, which does properly _not_ create
any newsgroups that are not in the newsgroups file, and puts them in
junk instead.

Once in junk, everyone (okay, not everyone) loves to run automated
scripts/programs to automatically check the junk newsgroup for new
newsgroups and have them blindly added to the newsgroups file.
Works well if you only receive real newsgroups, but thats a completely
bad assumption to say the most.

He probably gets very few if any messages in junk, and the ones that do
are probably for real newsgroups because amiserv doesn't send him very
many wildcard'ed newsgroups.  rec.stuffed.turtle wouldn't make it to his
site.

>

How can you convince people not to run CheckJunk type programs?  Not easily.
The program can be run in a manner so that it mearly produces a listing of
what newsgroups that could be blindly added to the newsgroups file exist in
junk, and then the system administrator has the ultimate choice of if he/she
wants to add them.  Its not completely automated then, but then another
automated way would be to just let junk be junk and not run the CheckJunk
type programs in the first place... which is probably how I would do it.

Upset?  I was glad to see that it was "Snuffy" they torched (I had to
compare an old paper and yesterday's line-by-line before I even
realized "Snuffy" was gone, so I hardly miss it).  They kept "Dilbert",
which is a marvelous strip, and tossed one of the most one-note, unfunny
strips they still carried.  Now if we could just get rid of "The Buckets"....

(Does anyone know why "Arlo and Janis" made such a brief appearance?  I
 believe it was replaced by "Walnut Cove", which wasn't an inspired swap.)

September Meeting
September 15, 1992
7:00 p.m.

The UNIX Job Market
Bea Harris

Whether you're actively looking for a job, or simply want to maintain
your marketability, it's important to be aware of how things are in the
Unix job market.  This month, /usr/group/chicago takes a hard nosed
look at getting a job, and offers a rare opportunity to see things from
the perspective of "the person on the other side of the table".

To maximize the amount of useful information you can get out of the
meeting, the traditional speaker format is being replaced with a brief
review of how to write a resume, seen from the perspective of the person
who will be reading it.  This will be followed by a round table discussion
in which several people who do the hiring tell what they like - and don't
like - to see in a job applicant.

There will be plenty of opportunities to ask questions, and, unless your
boss decides to attend, a supportive and relatively neutral platform
where you can get the answers to all those questions that don't always
get answered.

The meeting will be held at Van Kampen and Merritt, 1 Park View Plaza,
across from Oak Brook mall.  The building is large and brown, north
of Cermak / 22nd Street, and one light west of Route 83.

For membership information or any other questions, call Kathy Koszewski

    Then write a daemon that trims the stupid thing!  As far as I'm
    concerned, anybody who writes software that creates newsgroups
    merely because someone somewhere created it somewhere and posted
    something to it, deserves to be run out of Usenet on a rail.  This
    is the most irresponsibe piece of programming I've ever heard of!

    Vpnet runs C-news.  We respond to newgroups whether legitimate or
    not.  However, I'm conscientious enough to check daily and make
    sure only valid newsgroups get created here.  Remember we're
    talking about Usenet newsgroups, not alt.

    Isn't there any decent news software around for the Amiga?

    Right - and "the check's in the mail" and "this won't hurt a bit".

    Okay, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.  After all, I haven't
    found any posts from your site in our junk file.  However, we have
    found posts from amiserv there.

* * * DEADBEAT ALERT!  DEADBEAT ALERT!  DEADBEAT ALERT!  DEADBEAT ALERT! * * *

 Last minute show addition, which you already know about if you called the
   Deadbeat hotline (708-864-3775)

 This Friday, September 11, catch the Deadbeats at the CLEARWATER SALOON.

 location: 3937 N. Lincoln, near the Lincoln/Damen/Irving Park hexacorner.
 time:  Showtime at the Clearwater is usually around 10:30 PM.  It's a good
        bet for a post dinner outing.
