Edberg) and am quite pleased. It is a treasure trove of information on . . . Even though the line in our "/usr/lib/news/sys" file for our neighbor computer "imsvax" reads (in part): imsvax:net,fa,mod,na,usa,dc,um,cs,to.imsvax,!net.astro,!net.aviation... the above article was sent to imsvax. My best guess is that the "Distribution: net" line in the article forwarded the mechanism for checking if the article's in a news group that imsvax is tired of. It seems like a small bug since the "Distribution:" line is rarely used. So, news gurus: is my guess correct? Is it truly a small bug? Is it fixed in 2.11? -- UUCP: decvax!harpo!seismo!rlgvax!cvl!elsie!ado DDD: (301) 496-5688
