  Anyone who thinks like this shoudl subscribe to the group 'mod.newslists',
in which every month an article is posted detailing the wide variety of
news versions in use. Only 'rn' supports 'kill' files. If 'rn' would
fit on our 11/70, I would gladly run it, but it doesn't. We are stuck
with 'readnews' and 'kill' files are only a dream. This is not a viable
option for much of the net. Do not assume the net looks the same to
everyone else as it does to you.
