Yeah, with this many well focused newsgroups, crossposting is just simple rudeness; in addition, it is a hell of a nuisance to those still receiving the group by email, since they're getting a separate copy of the article for each cross-posted group to which they subscribe. > oh well, can't complain.. things are A LOT better now.. :) Here too; having things sorted out makes it a lot easier to nuke stuff I don't want to read in trn; some groups I know I want to read entire, so I don't need to go through the subject lines; other groups I know I read little of, so I take the time for triage. Best of all, they usually fit in a single screen at 48 lines (love that interlace mode in vt100), making it really easy to sort things out. > I got it.. someday we all should throw a party for Kent.. hehehe.. Kent is a shut-in grumpus who enjoys parties as much as root canals; use the same effort instead to make these groups really excellent; I'll take that kind of thanks in much better grace.
