I cannot read net.micro anymore due to the volume of IBM-PC specific stuff
it is bad enough that I get bombarded in day to day life. I certainly do
not need it here... Please Please keep the pc in net.micro.pc!!!!!

PC-gabbers are asked to please respect the rights of non-PC computer users and confine those PC discussions to the .PC newsgroup. That group which, in the infinite wisdom and desire of its founders, was designed to contain IBM-PC thoughts, complaints, and "pats-on-the-back"s. Thanks, Alan Alan I.

I Agree - why does it seem obligatory to cross-post to both? Please stop! For those news readers using rn there is a solution though: put the following line in the KILL file for net.micro:- /net.micro.pc/h:j This means "Junk any message containing the string 'net.micro.pc' in the message header". This solution is good for those who DO read net.micro.pc - they only read the messages once - and even better for those who don't and do not want to! (To edit the KILL file for a group, type ^K (Control-K) while reading that group).
