Okay, okay. The Register was wrong.

And it looks like Deja was a pioneer in the abomninable "My..." naming
practice. <spit>

Deja News Introduces Free, Web-based Usenet Newsreader; New "My Deja
News" Service Makes 50,000+ Internet Discussion Forums Accessible to
All Web Users -- Business Wire, Jan 27, 1998 -- With My Deja News,
you can read and participate in discussions at home, at work, on the
road or from any machine with Web access. Deja News tracks your
subscription information and read/unread articles on its servers, so
you can simply log in from anywhere and pick up where you left off.
This easy access is particularly advantageous for people who need
access to newsgroups at work because, unlike PC-based newsreaders, My
Deja News isn't constrained by corporate security firewalls.

Okay, okay. :)

UUUUUUUUUUUGH Those BASTARDS!!
