Lines: 26 So far I haven't seen a need to add my no vote to using Junker. But as I've read the messages I haven't seen any mention of what I consider the main reason for not using it. Each news message has some information content (some more than others of course ;-). I find it *totally unacceptable* to have a program running that will [Junker: message to long, middle removed.] pologise to getting too long winded. Hopefully you can see my point. It makes messages totally worthless (or at least has the potential to do so). You might as well dump the messages on the floor or just remove the newsgroup because reading them will not be worth the trouble anymore. Please add a :-) (or a :-( ) to my use of the Junker message in the middle. This probably isn't the way it actually does it's job but I think you get the idea. ds -- uucp: ...{harvard, seismo, ut-sally, sri-iu, ihnp4!packard}!topaz!steiner arpa: Steiner@RUTGERS.ARPA or Steiner@RED.RUTGERS.EDU
