I feel, and others seem to as well, that it stepped over the line. Taking the 'n' key concept to an extreme, why not just have a single group called 'net' and use the 'n' key a lot? There comes a time when a discussion may have moved too far afield to be really appropriate for the place it is in-- it is then best to move it or drop it because it becomes an irritant or a distraction from the main reasons for reading the group. chuq -- From behind the bar: Chuq Von Rospach {allegra,cbosgd,decwrl,hplabs,ihnp4,seismo}!nsc!chuqui nsc!chuqui@decwrl.ARPA Deadbone erotica is the prickly panic of forgotten milleniums, it is the moldy billion year madness that creeps deep along the spinal behind of my mind.
