This is why we dropped our UseNet feed three years ago, during the CoS cancel-bunny wars. We saw, even then, Windows programs that would allow an end-luser to generate cancels. When I saw three of them offered at shareware.com I knew UseNet was in trouble. When I started to see the cancel rate go *way* up, I dropped the feed. ___________________________________________________ Roeland M.J.
