Those (like me) who download these newsgroups from local BBS' via QWK mail
don't have a choice.  The cars don't bother me so much as the talk about
the stupid bill Clinton signed!  Get outta here!!  You know who you are!! <g>

Yup - a "small" point worth mentioning, eh, Nik? AND there's Offline
Newsreaders which download news packets... But some people just don't
have a clue about Usenet or computers. Not to mention common sense or
manners...

Er... ever read the docs or faqs, Langston? It might help you.
