Is this newsgroup obsolete?

The title says it all. It seems to me that inn.qnx.com groups qdn*
handle anything comp.os.qnx does and handles it better by categorizing
postings. Perhaps comp.os.qnx should go to that great newserver in the
sky?

That may be so for you. Have you considered that all the qdn.*
newgroups are QSSL sponsored, but comp.os.qnx is not.
While I haven’t seen any attempt at censorship on these
groups, having an independent forum is a good thing.
Don’t you agree.

Wow Mitchell. And I thought I was paranoid! :slight_smile:

I don’t think I can recall an instance in nearly 20 years of QSSL doing
anything like that but, I suppose, there’s a first time for everything.

Of course, if we did the censorship right, you wouldn’t see it, would
you? :slight_smile:

Actually comp.os.qnx has the advantage that it is a normally
distributed/propagated newsgroup – if, for some reason, our servers
for qdn went down or were unreachable, comp.os.qnx would still be
available.

And complain about it in the newsgroup, right? :wink:

Well, there are other ways: word of mouth, /. posting, email, picketing
QNXnnnn, etc. :sunglasses:
