I've said it before, I'll say it again. I resent your use of the term "trash groups" to describe any group which is not purely 100% technical in content. And if you don't read them, how can you know that what is being posted in there is trash? Newsgroups exist for a number of reasons. Just because you don't read a particular group, you seem to label it trash. I could call comp.sys.mac a trash group, because none of the articles there have any relevance for me. So don't call a group "trash" because it has no relevance for you. And, just for your information, I've seen a informative postings from Gryphon also. And the mass of informative Portal postings come from a) two people (that I can think of off-hand) and b) those two people use their real name, and not a "handle". Please, think before you post next time. -- David Bedno (aka The Cat in the Hat) Now appearing at: davidbe@sco.COM -OR- ...!{uunet,decvax!microsoft,ucbvax!ucscc}!sco!davidbe -OR- At home: 408-425-5266 At work: 408-425-7222 x5123 (I'm probably here...)
