Im well aware of how it works. Im writing a newsreader, so perhaps youd
like to get your facts straight.

he didnt say followups. yes, i send this back to the group I read. I
wont see the response if I dont. I cant afford to read online, and im
buggered if im going to download the whole of sci.lang (and, since I
have to read offline due to cost I cant download just headers) just for
one reply. if he wanted to restrict discussion to sci.lang he should
HAVE POSTED THERE.

see above.

This is WAY off topic now. just dont reply, ok?
