Hi »Q«, didn't know you had changed the xposted groups.  Anyway, 
I'm generally ok with it.  It's not such a big thing.

Irony meter.  It probably would do if what you have just written 
were true.  If you can sense irony so easily then it almost proves 
you're not an American!  :-)

But how can a polite suggestion to use your killfile on me be for 
the good of all?  :-)  It's for the good of you because no one 
else seems troubled by my altered headers.  Oh well.  This 
exchange could almost go on for ever.

I am generally happy with things.  I tried to re-tweak the Xnews 
executable to get what you suggested but it made headers run into 
one another.  So it's undiluted 2005.10.18 for the time being.  
Now I can almost see the smile on your face!  :-)  

Just give me some time until I get a moment to improve it .....
Oh no!  Heh!
