Article-I.D.: alice.1494 Posted: Mon Feb 14 15:38:08 1983 Received: Wed Feb 16 07:17:16 1983 References: uw-beave.349 That is an extremely obnoxious approach to take to get people to update their software. Has it ever occurred to you that maybe some people don't WANT to go to B news? There are some sites that do run current version of A news and they are quite happy with it. Why force them to change? If you do make the kind of change you suggest, I thin what will happen is that the 'new' network (that with the billions of little groups) will be the one to quickly die, not the old one.
