Dear Doug (or other news.admin.misc readers),

I tried to go read that thread, but the start of it has fallen off my
server already and there're still tons of messages.

Could someone summarize why References: should be enforced? I never use
them, but I'd like to understand why people think it is so important as
to risk destroying bit.* to insist on it.

Thanks,
