IMHO, the problem is that you would prefer to ignore the example in other comp groups which provides for separate groups for binary postings. Such groups provide for the needs of both the pro and con factions. There will most likely be such a group within days, and you can then impress yourself (and others) with your RTF postings, without causing undue distress to people who can't appreciate your RTF genius (lack of NewsGrazer), or don't wish to fund its transport (lack of $$$). -- Nathan Janette "I'm a NeXTstep man, Dept MB&B, Yale Univ I'm a NeXTcube guy" New Haven, CT nathan@laplace.biology.yale.edu (NeXT)
