Jim....
Please...  please...  please...
Edit your distribution... groups line to exclude the houston.news and
other irrelevant groups.
Tonight, I received 5 articles in houston.news.  Four of them were
written by you and one was a reply to you.  None of them were appropriate
to houston.news...
Please edit your distributions line...
Thanks...  Ted..
