I'd like to get rid of many. Before netnews was introduced I had hoped to see some kind of communication mechanism geared mainly to people who run UNIX systems. I wanted to benefit from the community of knowledge. I wasn't looking for entertainment or social discussions. I realize that netnews is appropriate for more than UNIX support. But I think the purpose should be mainly to inform technically and help people with specific problems find solutions. brian redman
