I *have* current software (2.10.3 4.3bsd-beta).  This morning 
John Gilmore tried to post a followup (using the followup command in
vnews) to mod.computers.workstations answering somebody's question
about workstations.  It dropped on the floor.  This is one problem with
the mod groups -- even with the current software, they don't work.  You
can't mail replies to the originator either (in many mod groups); the
return address is wrong.
