Maybe there's a purpose in having all this junk in news.admin: to demonstrate to all news admins especially those who write the next generation of news utilities, that blind crossposting should be prohibited. A follow-up feature should ask the poster explicitly whether to include each of the newsgroups in the header, possibly with their description; something like: news.admin: Comments directed to news administrators. Do you want to post there? Currently, postnews does something like that, but most news readers don't. -- Amos Shapir amos@nsc.com National Semiconductor (Israel) 6 Maskit st.
