When this happens add an renaming for "boston.general" in your "newsgroups" file so that articles for "boston.general" go into "junk" instead.

Then I clean out the "junk" on a 1 day expiration. --GaryM -- Gary Morris uunet!ucsd!telesoft!garym TeleSoft, San Diego telesoft!garym@ucsd.ucsd.edu (619) 457-2700 garym@crash.cts.com
