I guess it had to happen. Somebody's created newsgroup "net.all". It's the perfect newsgroup, from an evolutionary point of view; it can't be desubscribed explicitly, so those of us with .newsrc files containing options lines of the form "options -n all !net.foo..." will have to massively rewrite those lines in order to exclude "net.all." Clearly, it will survive as the fittest newsgroup because of its superior defense mechanism. I propose that we create a newsgroup "fa.all" so that those people who subscribe to "fa." articles will be as inconvenienced as the rest of us. Ken Rhodes Tektronix, Inc.
