A new school year begins.  :-(

Look, kids, RTFM.

I know the man page for rn/vnews/whateverthehellyouuse is long, but
imagine if we get into discussing everything in it just because you
didn't take care of 99% of that discussion just by R'ing TFM.

You could also post this to news.misc, rather than comp.unix.questions,
since unix has zero to do with news readers, except in how they interface
with peripherals and communicate with other machines.
