All you'd have to do is to ensure that any posts to your local newsgroups do *not* propogate to the USENET at large. One way to do this is to ensure that posts to your local newsgroups have Distribution: local as the default distribution, with help from the "distrib.pats" file. Your "newsfeeds" file will also need to be altered to not feed local articles to the outside world. -- Jonathan Chen ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "I don't want to achive immortality through my works..
