Nope.  I'm on a UUCP link, so you can't finger cybrspc.

That's my guess.  I should have looked closer at the two messages, to
determine why I got both of them.  (might have been subtle differences
in the actual address)  I suppose that, if one had no regard whatsoever
for system resource consumption, that
'rgrep ^From: /usr/spool/news | sort | uniq > ~/list-o-names'
would do the trick.
