Dev. Corp., Aurora, Colo. Lines: 15 The one feature that I would like to see in the news-software (version 3?) would be the ability to use the 'active' news files to dump newsgroups into the VOID! (/dev/null) That way, the feed never needs to be modified or updated for partial feeds or for full feed sites, they could get rid of newsgroups they don't feed or need. A way this could work is the newsgroup would have a '!' either in front of it, in place of the 0's or replacing the 'y' or 'm'. Of course, to turn it on again, one need only change back again.
