The following groups may be present at some sites or may occasionally 
appear in the "Newsgroups:" header. However none of them are currently 
regarded as legitimate nz.* groups and should be ignored/removed.

If you are aware of an ISP that carries these groups please ask them to 
remove them.


nz.archives
===========

Removed in mid 98 due to lack of on-topic traffic


nz.biz.misc
===========

nz.biz.misc.discuss
===================

Removed in early 98 due to lack of on-topic traffic


nz.forsale
==========

This group is not widely propagated and does not appear on the some of the
official lists of groups. Most of the traffic in the group is international
advertisers crossposting to *.forsale, use nz.wanted instead.

 
nz.gen.kiwi.3tt
===============

This group exists in the imagination of Neville D <ncd@3tt.kiwi.gen.nz>
who has in the past put forward a belief that sites should have a 
corresponding newsgroup. This idea has not been well supported among the 
New Zealand Usenet community and Neville is regularly flamed when he 
crossposts his messages to this group.


nz.molbio
=========

This group was originally created to deal with the subject of 'Molecular 
Biology' but it seems nobody was much interested in that subject so after
a couple of years and almost no posts it was removed in early 1995.


nz.netstatus
============

Replaced with nz.net.*, see Section 2.0 


nz.org.ipenz
============

Several problems with the vote, see Section 2.0.


nz.org.nzcs
===========

Failed vote, see Section 2.0.


nz.org.net-society
==================

Removed in late 97 due to lack of on-topic traffic


nz.reg.christchurch.general
===========================

Replaced with nz.reg.canterbury.general, See Section 2.0


nz.org.isocnz
=============

Following the renaming of the Internet Society of New Zealand to 
InternetNZ this group and other forums being available for non-members to
discuss it's activities this group became inactive. It was removed in 
early 2003 with the approval of InternetNZ.
