Expires:

I have made some decisions about news, based on these articles.  I believe we
are not receiving net.flame (I hope), but some extra catching in our news may
help some.  So here goes:

	-	Inews will be made to accept only the first group in a
		list of Followup-To: groups, UNLESS one group is net.flame;
		in that case the article will go SOLELY to net.flame.
	
	-	And, in conjunction to the above, followup postings to
		net.flame will be silently converted into mail.  This can
		probably be defeated by mucking with the References: line;
		so be it.  Anyone tries THAT, and net.flame will map into
		/dev/null.
	
How much work would it be to make rnews trap incoming articles with net.flame
in the Newsgroups: line, and send those articles ONLY to net.flame?

(I suppose I'll find out the answer to the above myself.)

I see no use for posting in multiple groups; at least, not THAT easily.  BTW,
I already have RN set up (for myself; we can't compile RN V4.3) to junk all
but the first Followup-To: group, and I may duplicate it into the Newsgroups:
line.
