	*Henry* did that ?! That seems rather out of character to me. If
someone can give me concrete proof, I'll call him and rattle my copy of
Sabre-C at him.  :)

	Maybe naming Cnews' "inews" after Bnews' was a mistake, but any
news admin who doesn't familiarize h*self with the difference is making a
bigger and more damaging mistake. (I know - I made this mistake myself.)
