Subject: File 1--Moderators' Corner (triviata de jour)

Ah, sordid responses and announcements:

1. DON'T FORGET: If you read CuD as Usenet's alt.society.cu-digest,
YOU MUST change over to comp.society.cu-digest. The alt group will
disappear in two weeks.

2. CuD has been coming out twice a week since the shift to the comp
hierarchy. This is temporary, and we'll resume to the normal weekly
schedule in about 2 weeks.

3. We plan three special issues in the next few weeks. One will be a
retrospective on Cliff Stoll's The Cuckoo's Egg. Two others will be
(1) a summary of the Software Publisher's Association followed by (2)
a set of commentaries on the SPA. We are hoping for a third in which
the SPA responds and joins the dialogue.

4. Some Usenet readers had problems reading issue #4.39. We hope we
have the kinks worked out, but if you continue to have problems, let
us know and we'll try to resolve them. The current format of
"Subject:" line, length, and style has been worked out as a compromise
between the variations on different systems.  For readers new to CuD,
we remind ya'll that Usenet readership constitutes less than two-thirds
of all readers, and we have to try to accommodate the other third as
well. If you have problems, let us know, but we can't always resolve
them, especially if they create problems for others.

5. For those wanting back issues: Time (and space) don't allow us mail
out back issues in either electronic or hardcopy format.  Mike
Batchelor has made back issues available via mailserv (see following
file), and other sources of back issues are listed in introduction to
each issue.
