Many people only read news.announce.newusers for the diff listings, to see what groups and mailing lists (etc.) have changed. I always post the diffs last, after posting the full articles, so that there should be minimal (if any) confusion. If people let me know that they would rather not have the diffs, or else see those diffs elsewhere, then I will change the way I post them. -- Gene Spafford Dept. of Computer Sciences, Purdue University, W.
