From: utzoo!henry Newsgroups: hacknews Title: newuser handles news better Article-I.D.: utzoo.2372 Posted: Thu Aug 12 20:42:18 1982 Received: Thu Aug 12 20:42:18 1982 At David's suggestion, fixed newuser(1) so that new users no longer get barraged with old news items in 'general'. Also had it supply an explicit "options -n general" line in the .newsrc, which simplifies telling people how to alter their subscription list.
