The "usenet" is all of us and if one individual is doing something on the net which is being disruptive to the whole usenet community then the sites providing that access to dixie.com should take action. This is all part of the agreements made when a site gets a feed and then becomes a host... there is a certain amount of responsibility which goes with that status. I am sure if enough people complained to the site providing the news feed to dixie.com some action will be taken. Usenet is a privilege and NOT a RIGHT! --- Robert M.
