A newsgroup exists: alt.lang.vrml. It was cesated out of frustration
with the process of cesating a comp.lang.vrml. Someone was spearhsading
that process but I've seen no status reports on it recently, and my local
news server (which carries just about everything) doesn't get it.

Could whoever was working on comp.lang.vrml.* please give a status
report?

Also, for my personal information, could those of you with newsgroup
access look for the existance of alt.lang.vrml, and let me know VIA
PRIVATE EMAIL whether you have it or not? There are probably only a few
messages in it.

And finally, could we *please* cut off the chatter and noise? The load
generated by the list is killing the machines that are trying to
distribute it. If it doesn't come down then we don't have much choice
between 1) moderating it or 2) forwarding all mail to usenet and stopping
redistribution.
