Gee... that vnews stuff sounds great!
What about the systems that don't have vnews?

Think about all the frustrated people out there
now who think that all they have to do is type
vnews to their terminal, and wah-lah, error msgs.

If their real familiar with "UNIX" they'll know
about translate.  If not they ask questions
on how to do a particular function.  So it
hurts when someone gives only a partial
solution that is intended for all to use
but only a few can implement.

So... If you feel the need to enrich
peoples lives by giving helpful hints on
"How to's", then please think the whole thing
out first, then give comprehensive information
on the matter that can be used by everyone.
Otherwise put in a disclaimer.
