[net.general] An old subject

 Sorry if this in in the wrong group... I get lost easily.

  To all of you people out there who are griping back and forth
about the 'unsubscribe' command in readnews:
   As you know, this is a new feature, developed for news
version 2.8, along with the inclusion of full-name at the end
of the header line, "From". The "u" command was developed to
help compact .newsrc's, since it allows a more concise way of
recording which newsgroups you do and don't want to read.
  However, news 2.8 has not reached the entire world yet. If
it hasn't reached your site, ask your local root why not. If it
has, then be happy, and unsubscibe to net.everything.you.don't.want
to.knowabout.sex, or whatever, whenever you feel like it.
