I notice that about 75% of the articles that are posted to comp.emacs are about gnu emacs, and about 99% of those are also posted to gnu.emacs. I think that I shall propose to the usenet overlords that the gnu.emacs newsgroup be deleted. I don't think that is a good idea, since some people don't want to read articles about other than GNU Emacs. Another point is that when you want to find out something about GNU Emacs you would usually think of writing to gnu.emacs rather than comp.emacs. This way if you aren't interested in GNU you wouldn't get that message. Smart newsreaders notice from the Message-ID that you've already read a message in another newsgroup. This is a cross-posting, too ;-) Kim -- ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ( Kimmo Suominen Electronic Mail on Internet: kim@kannel.lut.fi ) ( "That's what I think!" on Funet: KUULA::KIM ) '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
