#N:hp-pcd:7000001:000:711 hp-pcd!tw Aug 11 15:08:00 1982 Ok; enough is enough. I am *really* tired of having some random zero somewhere on the net create a newsgroup without ever consulting anyone. It is bad enough for benign newsgroups such as net.wobegon, but I was really disgusted by net.db. THE LEAST YOU COULD DO IS FIND OUT IF *ANYONE* BESIDES YOURSELF WANTS TO READ THIS CRAP!!! Is there any way that news administrators can prevent newsgroups from being created (by people at remote sites) without intervention? I really don't want to have to do everything manually, but I will if that is what it takes to prevent this sort of nonsense. Tw Cook - HP Personal Computer Div, Corvallis OR - ucbvax!hplabs!hp-pcd!tw
