How about mangling the From headers in the news postings? Would be a lot
nicer, and of course, a lot less Spam for people.
That is, if that's what's causing the problems here.

I have finished a Debian distribution of LHA from sunsite. Now since the

Or would it just not be a

Hi..
Are these new aout-* packages going to stay the same name forever? And also,
are there going to be elf-* packages under the debian-1.0 tree too? It's a
little confusing having "aout-gcc-2.6.3-4.deb" and "gcc-2.7.0-2.deb" - is the
2.7 ELF?
