That implies to me that he will end up >making my net.flame feed suffer. So he is controlling what I read. Sorry, I thought you were refering to a SA *other* then your own. Simple misunderstanding. Am I offended by this practice? No, because when space is limited or funds are being chewed up at a faster then manageble rate then the first items that have to go are luxuries (games, net.flame, and maybe the whole netnews system). Such are the breaks of the game. Remember, access to netnews is not a right, it is a privelage (and one that shouldn't be taken lightly). Chris Andersen
