I am getting a bit tired of Jargon File du jour. Is there anyone else that feels the same way? Can I get an "Amen" brother? No you can't. Why should it be limited for just your convenience ? Use a kill file if you don't want to see it, but don't (try to) limit other's access... Having got that off my back, I feel that alt.sources *could* be dropped, since this actually isn't source. What about just an informational message telling alt.sources.d readers that the new version has been posted to a.f.c and m.m ? -- /* * * Otto J.
