And if David is administrator for a backbone machine, it is ok with you that everyone getting their newsfeed from him can do without it also, right? How about if the name gets changed to net.rabid.feminists? (As opposed to net.feminists, a name which implies that men might be acceptable also?) I'm sure David D. wouldn't care about the group name, then. What's that? The name is offensive? But it's only so that women can have their own space without MEN interfering! -- "The weight of the world is love." -- Allan Ginsberg Rick Keir -- MicroComputer Information Center, MACC 1210 West Dayton St/U Wisconsin Madison/Mad WI 53706 {allegra, ihnp4, seismo}!uwvax!uwmacc!rick
