Several people, particularly readers of alt.sex, have expressed their dislike of all the cross-posted messages on their newsfroup. (er, excuse me, newsGroup.) It is too much trouble, they feel, to "k"ill all the cross-posted drivel one topic at a time. Ergo, I would like to propose a new global kill command that would mark as read all articles in a particular newsgroup that were cross-posted to other groups. The readers could then go to the other groups and read them there. This sounds like a simple and effective way to quell a lot of bitching.

Drop the line /Newsgroups: *,*/hj Or something similar into rn's global KILL file. Note that that regexp may be totally wrong.. -- Bill Wisner ..!{ames,att,decwrl,ihnp4,mit-eddie,osu-cis}!killer!wisner
