Lines: 16 Class: discussion Come now. I don't get GNU, or biz, or bionet or more than a couple of groups of Alt. Nor am I at all interested in getting their own versions of news.groups, which if not moderated, will be similar to the main news.groups group -- guess why people wanted news.announce.groups in news.*? But I am interested in finding out what new groups get created in these hierarchies, so that I can decide if I want to get them fed to me. It would be nice to just get announcements, with a short 5 line description for each gorup, and not have to check for changes in a big list of one line descriptions of everything. I think that so long as it's moderated, even my enemies don't have to worry about it being abused by evil money grubbing scum such as myself. Gasp. Here I am agreeing with Lear@bio.net! :-) -- Brad Templeton, Looking Glass Software Ltd. -- Waterloo, Ontario 519/884-7473
