Sounds pretty messy as I want to limit access to *all* the news! You see the networks in Japan are being reorganized and all .or/.co machines will have to start paying for their news (it used to be free for the price of telephone call--10 yen/minute--from the government supported backbone.) Since not all members of the Aegis Society (which supports Aegis) want to read news, they don't want to pay for news. Further, some members want to share the cost of selected mailing lists->news. So I'm looking for a way I can control access....
