I've read the documentation that comes with b-news2.11 and it talks about setting NONEWGROUP or NOTIFY but nothing about all this protocol concerning groups and stuff. Can I define groups for internal consumption. By the end of next year I plan to have four machines at various sites in my company and very much want to use the net news mechanism to get things out to employees. I also want us to be connected to the net. I DON'T want to bring the wrath of the net on my shoulders because I'm doing things which really have no significance outside my own organization. Can I or can't I do thing for my own consumption without creating undesired effects on the rest of the net. Please send any e-mail to uunet!wshb!michaelb -- Michael Batchelor / KA7ZNZ uunet!wshb!mikebat!michaelb Gorbachev is certainly not a Stalinist, but he is also just as certainly NOT a Jeffersonian democrat. We should examine his motives just as coldly as he is examining ours. --- Richard Nixon, Time, December 18, 1989.
