But most PCs don't have it, get it?  Most of Sun's, HP's, DEC's, NeXT's and
SGI's machines DO however, also there are Amigas and IBM mainframes and
lotsa other machines on the net.

But subdividing the newsgroup is much better.  That way we won't all need
kill files (all ~ the ones not interested in VGA programming etc, but
interested in games theory).  After all, junk files are an alternative
approach to limiting the information in a group on a per-user basis.
Also, this is beside the point.

No, I tend to get affectional towards them, that's why I hate them being
polluted. :)
