[news.software.b] Semi-Official b news upgrade

lwv27@CAS.BITNET (09/04/90)

I know the reasons behind the official non-support of B News.  But surely
folks are frustrated with seeing almost every new site in the world (Japan
is the most recent example) broadcasting control files to create new groups
around the world.  Couldnt someone, perhaps Spaf, or one of the news group
control folks, create a patch 20 which changes the default from world to
local for the newgroup command.  I dont mind folks having the ability to
send a world create newgroup if they want - it just does not make any sense
for it to be the default.  Local - or perhaps division or company - type
distribution does make sense.
