Could be; Besides the NetBSD lists, I also gateway lynx-dev to a local
newsgroup.  Of couse, when I killfiled him in trn, I only did so for
this "newsgroup".  What did I just read in the lynx "newsgroup", not
five minutes ago? You-know-who, saying that he'll never use the new
version of Lynx and that he's going to start his own version, based on a
different codeset. Hmmm... 

["I try to get out, but they keep pulling me back in!"]

Time to move him to the global killfile.

I'm easy to aggitate (:->), but in all the years I've been on the net,
I've *never* killfiled anyone, till now. Not anyone, even the true
psychopaths. Not even the guy who threatened to sue me. It's really
quite a (dubious) achievement on Michael's part!
