If it includes 'uw.general', then remove it from the |list please. Cross posting is a pointless, dull and rude exercise. "uw.general" is a newsgroup at the University of Waterloo in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. It is also likely in existence at the University of Washington in Washington State, USA. "york.general" is York University, near Toronto, Ontario, Canada; "ut.general", aside from also being at the University of Texas, is also at the University of Toronto. I think you'll find an ongoing discussion here about these subjects. The fact that the University of Warwick is included is most likely an artifact of uunet's willingness to carry every possible newsgroup... -- ,u, Bruce Becker Toronto, Ontario a /i/ Internet: bdb@becker.UUCP, bruce@gpu.utcs.toronto.edu `\o\-e UUCP: ...!utai!mnetor!becker!bdb _< /_ "The really important problems require greater earnestness" - J.
