- Well that's alright for you to say, but what about the people who pay to
- download every single article of c.l.c. ?

- Don't forget the preventative aspect of the `flames' newbies who are lurking
- for the minimum 1 week period (ha! likely...) will notice that platform and

- I do not particularly want to download all of the dos, windows, mac, windows NT,
- unix, vms (etc) programming newsgroups, along with c.l.c. I am also interested
- in unix programming, so I subscribe to c.u.p. This way I can mix and match the
- newsgroups to my taste.
