HOLD IT!!!!!  This guy is suggesting we get rid of the re: feature of
readnews.  I don't know about him, but instead of deleting this feature
I'd rather see it expanded.  A neat thing to be able to do would be to
say 'Don't show me any re: Wallys world is wunnerful  articles' because
after 2-3 followup articles I never read any more anyway.  I hope whomever
is rewriting readnews leaves it in.  Also, he wants a synopsis to be at
least 30 characters long.  WHY???  It seems to me that the purpose of
a synopsis is to be concise, why punish those who are good at it??
