I've heard this so many times I'm almost beginning to believe it is true. My sys file currently says: SOURCES:net.sources,!net.sources.all::/usr/lib/news/sfar net.sources SOURCES:net.sources.bugs::/usr/lib/news/sfar net.sources.bugs Voila...'net.sources.bugs' articles don't get into my 'net.sources' archive. Am I missing something on this issue, or is the answer as easy as this? > [3] What are you going to do when you start getting the > "Does anyone have a copy of MacWidgit?" articles in > net.sources.mac? Will there be a net.wanted.sources.mac, > too? In chuq's original message he suggested that one of the moderater's responsibilities should be to compile an index. An index would also be a good idea for net.sources, *especially* if the index contained the Message-ID's of the extraneous discussion articles in a format so that I can automatically zap them from my archive. If anybody is interested, I suppose I could volunteer to make such an index. -- Chip Rosenthal, Intel/Santa Clara {cbosgd,idi,intelca,icalqa,kremvax,qubix,ucscc} ! {t4test,t12tst} ! {chip,news}
