- That's actually a (mangled form of a) newsfeed control line entry.
- A typical entry looks like this:
-
- foo/bar:comp,news,etc/all:F:
-
- Which will feed articles to foo unless they had come from foo, or had
- passed through bar on their way to you. He's lamenting that C news
- doesn't take the same syntax for the line controlling what groups
- the local site takes, so you could tell it to drop articles that had
- passed through becker or zuma. News looks for these sites in the
- Path: line, not the address headers.
-
- FYI, "feline" is the one site that appears in all beckergrams, not
- "becker".
