Pardon if this has been asked before, but why in Cnews do the newgroup/ rmgroup control messages consist of only that one line (ie, rmgroup blah says ...), whereas in Bnews, the entire message is posted? With all the bogus newgroup/rmgroup messages we have been hit with in the past, I figure the more info I have to decide on the better. Gary -- Gary J.

The entire message is posted, in the "control" newsgroup, regardless. The summaries mailed to the administrator are terser, yes, and that may have been a mistake. Reworking of certain aspects of that stuff is on the "to be looked at" list. -- If the Space Shuttle was the answer, | Henry Spencer at U of Toronto Zoology what was the question? | henry@zoo.toronto.edu utzoo!henry
