Perhaps the reason that most discussions start adding more and more
newsgroups, is that most people reply to articles with a "followup"
command, and then don't know how to modify the list of newsgroups or
distribution (in fact, I don't know how to modify the distribution
after using "f" in vnews...).  Perhaps, if the software were
modified to to allow easier changing of the newsgroups and
distribution, then discussions like this wouldn't fill up
news.admin as quickly.  It would probably be simple to have
distributions prompted for after doing followup...  Anybody up
to thinking of a way to do stuff like this?

Actually, I have only seen kill files in "rn".  "rn" did not come with
my news package (and probably doesn't come with the default one).  Since
I don't have a kill file, I have to shut up and go away (until I break
my own rule...).  So why doesn't "rn" get distributed with the standard
release?  (I haven't seen it in any of the .sources groups either..)
