Who Think about it for a nanosecond. Assume the downstream site has an alternative feed, and uplinks local articles to both, say, uunet and a PSI customer. PSI drops the copy they receive from their customer on the floor, in blatant violation of the norms of civilized behaviour. A few minutes later nntp fires up and brings in the other copy from uunet, which PSI localizes and forwards to its subscribers. This is utterly preposterous. -- Steve Nuchia South Coast Computing Services (713) 964-2462 "Innocence is a splendid thing, only it has the misfortune not to keep very well and to be easily misled." --- Immanuel Kant, Groundwork of the Metaphysic of Morals
