Glad to hear you support the | idea. +--------------- By whom, Mr. Webber? I have proof (email) that the majority of people prefer having only moderated sources groups. The MAJORITY, defined as > 50%, not something you can argue around. If you'd like I'll mail you my collected email and some statistics. (82K mail file, mostly short messages) If, as it seems, you are in the minority, then you have no right to screw the rest of the net over with this bypass-the-moderator-as-I-please non- sense. Most of the net will probably respond by hacking inews to reject your postings or similar responses -- this being reserved for the most obnoxious individuals. ++Brandon -- ---- Moderator for comp.sources.misc and comp.binaries.ibm.pc ---- Brandon S.
