Greetings.  Several persons have informed me that my statement
that "I always include my full name" on outgoing netnews messages is
incorrect -- and have sent me examples.  However, all of the
articles I post have a From line that looks as follows:

	From: Lauren Weinstein 

It appears that some system(s) along the line, perhaps running old
versions of netnews, do not recognize this legal format and
are stripping off some of that included information.
So far, I haven't been able to pin down exactly where this is taking
place.  Anyway, I hope this clears up any confusion.  Thanks.
