	Since this is the last note in the conference, why not just delete
	the whole thing and be done with it?

        The author posted Note 874.0 -- including the Notes header --
        to alt.digital.dcu
        (news:9409021654.AA23581@us4rmc.pko.dec.com for those using a
        web reader).

    re: .2, Why not just delete the whole thing?
    
    Because if I did, one of three things would happen:
    
    1)  Someone would ask what happened to the note.
    
    2)  Someone would accuse the moderators of being 'Goderators'.
    
    3)  Both of the above.

Some idjit sent out an rmgroup for it.  Those that honor them will have had

        Is this something done to a particular news server, or is it
        something that propagates and may execute on all servers? 
        Does it require special privilege?

        By the way, mrnews.mro.dec.com still appears to have the
        group.

874.10BICYCL::RYERDon't give away the home world....Thu Sep 08 1994 16:113
Ok, so what do we do about it if it's been blown away on our server?

    Yep, it was blown away from my at-home server, too.  Can someone send
    out a "create" message ?
    
    This kinda stuff must happen all the time in the I-Way.
    
    L.
874.12NETRIX::thomasThe Code WarriorThu Sep 08 1994 16:265
Ask your news server admin to recreate it.

Someone posts a rmgroup control message, it propogates to all news servers.
Each news server has control over what they do with it.  Some believe them,
some don't.  
874.13Can we find out whodunnit?ROWLET::AINSLEYLess than 150 kts. is TOO slow!Fri Sep 09 1994 13:283
Is it possible to find out what node/user issued the rmgroup?

    Isn't that alt.hackers?

    It's a moderated newsgroup with a non-existent moderator, so in order
    to post to it you have to forge a moderator approval for your post.
