The restriction is there just to keep flamers like you out of the group. ObHack: I created a group called ksu.lclpost which is a moderated group that contains copies of all articles posted from our site. I created it after a few people started forging articles so that I could monitor who was posting to what. I created it by adding a line to my sys file which told it to send a copy of any locally originating article through a script which then changes the headers so that the Newsgroups: line reads ksu.lclpost and the Followup-To: line is what the Newsgroups: line was previously then adds an Approved: line and reposts it. -- "I wrote a program in lisp once...it wrote back to me." -- unknown Reality is for people who can't deal with drugs.
