:      The following subgroupings are being introduced:
 
:      mu.comp.*      for computing related newsgroups
:      mu.info.*      for information dissemination newsgroups
:      mu.instruct.*  for instruction-related newsgroups, including
:                       course-specific newsgroups (mu.instruct.course.*)
:      mu.lib.*       for Miami University Libraries newsgroups
:      mu.misc.*      for miscellaneous newsgroups, such as the ride board
:      mu.org.*       for organization-related newsgroups
:      mu.talk.*      for general discussion newsgroups
 
:      The following document lists the mu.* newsgroups presently expected to
