[Pan-users] GNKSA

[Joe Zeff]

I've just received a response to my email about updating the GNKSA.  In 
part, it says:

Actually, I consider the GNKSA a historic document, to be read in the 
context of its own time, rather than a useful guideline for today's 
practice.  It played its part, but to me its relevance is over.  Usenet 
has become a niche, or a suite of niches for a relatively small audience 
and particular purposes.  The GNKSA, by intention anyway, aimed to help 
Usenet function in a time before web forums, "social" sites and the like.

I don't think there's any other interest in updating it or even paying 
any attention to it any longer.  I think it's now time for us to ask 
ourselves if complying to an otherwise dead standard is in Pan's best 
interests, and if not, what other changes are appropriate.
