I *can* complain that they are doing so (1) without telling us who is doing it, (2) without telling us that they were about to start doing it, and (3) without telling anyone their criteria for "inappropriate". The increasing "cowboy" nature of the net ("Well, I WANT the group and I'M GONNA CREATE IT") is not helping anyone. Please, if you decide to start screwing with newsfeeds * AT LEAST TELL US WHAT YOU'RE ABOUT TO DO* please? Thank you. -- Rick Keir -- right next to the Oyster Tank -- UWisc - Madison {allegra, ihnp4, seismo}!uwvax!uwmacc!rick
