- My newsreader doesn't seem to support kill files. In fact I consider myself
- lucky that my newsreader supports the fact my workstation is outside
- the mainstream of DEC's internal network.
-
- Do I complain to the person who wrote the newsreader? I do not.
- Why? Because I am using a VMS system, and the the only newsreader
- available was written by someone out of the goodness of their heart.
- I am truly grateful to him for that.
-
- And for what it does (act as a client for a U*x server elsewhere in the
- network) it does it remarkably well.
-
- But what you are saying is that if I haven't the capability of using kill
- files, I shouldn't be reading newsgroups with a low signal-to-noise ratio.
- Bah. Humbug.
-
- Who is this Bill person anyway?
