I agree that more sophisticated software won't help much. The system has developed far enough that the people are as weak a component as the software. When unscrupulous or intolerant administrators commit abuses, we can always invoke the drastic punishment of excommunicating them. While the "talk." idea is useful, it's only a patch. I foresee a time when every newsgroup has a different feeder set of nodes. -- Col. G. L. Sicherman UU: ...{rocksvax|decvax}!sunybcs!colonel CS: colonel@buffalo-cs BI: csdsicher@sunyabva
