Funny.  My file usenetdir is working just as advertised.  I think maybe
qubix is hand feeding the message to recsite, without stripping the
headers; the instructions include a line to insert into /usr/lib/news/sys
which will automatically feed the site data into recsite, minus headers.

The one thing that isn't kosher (pardon) is that some managers have
automatic signatures which get (got) appended to their submissions; Gene
Spafford's is the one I saw, but there are others.  These find their way
right into usenetdir.  Annoying, but easy to edit out.

DON'T STOP THE SUBMISSIONS - THIS IS THE LATEST ATTEMPT TO GET A REALLY
USEFUL NET MAP BUILT, AND IT DEPENDS ON OVERCOMING THE (shall I say it?)
LAZINESS OF A LOT OF THE SITE GURUS OUT THERE.

By the way, I have no idea what this message was doing in this group. I
think discussions of this kind should go into news.adm.

So keep those site data forms coming in, folks.
