Message-ID: <193@cbscd5.UUCP> Date: Thu, 9-Jun-83 14:01:09 EDT Article-I.D.: cbscd5.193 Posted: Thu Jun 9 14:01:09 1983 Date-Received: Tue, 14-Jun-83 05:56:15 EDT Organization: Bell Labs, Columbus Lines: 16 >From nuucp Thu Jun 9 12:32 EDT 1983 Since others were wondering, I will post the most interesting response to my query: All "- (nf)" means is that the article passed thru (or orignated at) a system running notes (an alternative to readnews, postnews...). It is not something you would want to put in your header. Notes may not keep putting it on, either, in the future. Tom Clark, ihlpf!clark, IH 6H-302, x2620 P.S. It can also be used in net.jokes to mean "not funny" to enable users to skip over stupid jokes. Paul Dubuc
