I don't have any of the problems you allude to. I do use wild-cards, and my notes get to my feed in long-name form, because notes, not the shell, expands the wild-cards. I do have a problem occasionally in that there are rogue groups on the long names site with chopped shortnames style names. I guess they came from elsewhere. I am running notes 1.7. There may be problems with old sites of which I am not aware. I can tell you how to cross pollinate those groups if you are interested. I just had to install an alias file to prevent it from happening. If two other sites around here don't install alias files real soon, there will be some cross pollination. I was tempted to just let it happen, but the readers of those lists are the victims, not Fair. This happened because I picked up a redundant feed. Any shortname site with 2 feeds, where each leads eventually to a longname site before being gatewayed back to news will cause the cross- pollination if no alias files are used. It is that simple, and I and one of my feeds both qualify to do it. Terry Poot Nathan D.
