I really cannot say which I like but I am going to sit back and see what happens. Maybe others should do that too. It appears that the people who help make the net run smoothly (and we should thank them!) are trying to stop the "this discussion does not belong here", "this discussion really ought to stop", "VERY HOT FLAME ON ...", etc. responses. Who knows, this might be a good idea! [An old bumper sticker Chrysler dealers used to give their new car customers] [in the early 70's: CALM DOWN / Life is S.E. (S.E. = Short Enough) ] I would like to ask a question though: Only one other person mentioned this in the 200+ articles I read in the last few days (sorry, I forgot who) -- is there anyway to get the news reading software (readnews, vnews, etc.) to display a "Table of Contents" based on the Subject Line or Keywords Line of, for example, a screenful of articles. At that point, the user would be able to decide which articles they do not want to read. Then the software would take that info and update the .newsrc file to reflect the wishes of the user. I would like to appologize if this has been discussed before, but in my (roughly) nine months with access to the net, I have never heard this discussed. If it has, will the net gurus mail me the resluts of that discussion, please. Thanks! -- Scott A.
