This is no longer being done. This causes several problems. One is that a message to "net.auto,general" ends up in the "general" group in EVERY site. The other is that the junk group is filling up with articles for "nj.general" and "btl.foobar" because there are postings to these groups and a net group. -- Brad Templeton - Waterloo, Ont.
