REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION (RFD)
remove comp.sources.unix

This is a formal Request For Discussion (RFD) to remove the moderated
newsgroup comp.sources.unix.

RATIONALE: Remove comp.sources.unix

The last approved message was in December 1998.

There are other more suitable means of distributing program sources, so
this comp.sources.unix is not a suitable candidate for conversion to an
unmoderated newsgroup.

HISTORY:

The newsgroup comp.sources.unix was created in April 1987 to replace the
moderated newsgroup mod.sources. I could locate no charter for the
newsgroup. The newsgroup line was:

comp.sources.unix Postings of public-domain sources. (Moderated)

PROCEDURE:

The full (draft) group removal procedure is documented here:
