I understand the problem. I've even had to endure others doing such things in
my newsgroups. However, I also don't like letting certain statements go
unanswered. I consider answering in one newsgroup out of 10 inadequate in
some cases. (Essentially, that is what you suggested.) However, sometimes
I do edit the newsgroup lines. In this case, isn't houston.news supposed
to be a dead newsgroup anyway (i.e. try houston.usenet.config)?
