Call me dense.  Maybe it's just that I'm spending too much time
studying for finals and haven't been listening to everyone
"correctly".
     
If someone crossposts to misc.forsale,ba.forsale and this is my first
line in NEWS.SYS:
     
# first entry is this node, and is what will be accepted.
drew:alt,bionet,biz,comp,control,junk,misc,news,nj,njin,ops,sci,soc,talk,\
test,to,u3b,vmsnet,!aus,!ba,!ca,!can,!clari,!gnu,!local,!micro,\
!purdue,!rec,!u3b,!unix-pc,!wpi::
#
     
and I add news batches like this: (from my modified NEWSSKIM_ALT.COM)
     
$ NEWS/NOSCREEN ADD BATCH/CREGRP/DELETE 'temp_name'
     
News creates both misc.forsale AND ba.forsale.
     
I don't see any "all" or "*" keywords in that line.  In fact, I
explicitly added "!ba".  What's up?
     
Is this a bug in NEWS 5.9B or am I just loonie?
     
-Tom
