  If your usenet neighbors were to place in their sys files (please, please)

ME:all,!news.admin,!news.software.bin/all::

your articles on this subject would go nowhere.  Is this supposed to be in
news.announce.newusers ?

  However, I have a proposed solution to your problems:

  Attention all Cnews sites.  Please place the following commands near the
end of your newsdaily scripts:

	cd $NEWSCTL
	grep ' - <' log.o | \
	  grep -v 'duplicate$' | \
	  grep -v `cat whoami` | mail mathew@mantis.co.uk

  There.  If enough admins pick this up you will soon be fully informed of all
articles of yours dropped due to bad headers or dates.
