Awatmath.1355 net.news utzoo!decvax!watmath!bstempleton Wed Dec 23 01:45:10 1981 Actual case of censorship and B news bug I suspect that "Actual case of censorship" is partly the result of a bad choice of name for net.jokes.q Due to the feature of news that subscribing to net.jokes is subscribing to net.jokes.all as well, users who did not explicitly ask for it still wound up with subscriptions to net.jokes.q. (I make this distinct from the person who subscribes to ALL or net.all, they are saying they are willing to read anything) A group like net.jokes.q, to avoid controversy, should have perhaps been set up so that people have to explicitly ask for it. Should there istead be net.q.jokes, and net.q.db if people REALLY want those insane newswires? On another note, I wanted (with b news) to do a followup on the actual case article, but I noted that it had a dash "-" in its title field. Bad news, (no pun intended) since B news complained I had given an invalid option to inews. Somebody forgot to quote. I point this out to all news users in an effort to ensure they do not put quotes in their titles if they can.
