It took me like 2 minutes to learn it like an *ordinary* user and just read and post, and it took me about an hour or two to write a very pretty third party cancel script in slang. Try that with your fancy luser newsreader. >> Why don't you want to see the name of the server in the MID? People >> can see that in the Path anyways. >True but not in the archive (deja news) Wow.

Which means that nutscrape is not RFC-compliant, but just another piece of crapware. >> And, even worse, it has a MID ending on "4ax.com", a domain registered >> by Forte Inc.
