That is, postnews/Pnews merely create a header which matches up with the restrictions then inews pays no more attention to things than it does now. This way the idle cross-posters will be nudged to think about their cross-posting, but when the need arises to do a strange cross-posting the capability still exists. Chuq, for every objection you raised I was able to think of a counter example where it was perfectly reasonable to do a posting like you described. Each of my counter examples were rare-ish situations but still reasonable. I mostly agree with you ... -- <---- David Herron -- The E-Mail guy <---- or: {rutgers,uunet,cbosgd}!ukma!david, david@UKMA.BITNET <---- <---- Goodbye RAH.
