- Since when does hitting 'k' stop megabytes of data from flowing
- into your system through your modem from your USENET distribution
- site? Must be a new option I haven't heard about yet. :) [and just
- to be a further pain-in-the-ass, not everybody uses the same
- news reader software. "Hitting your 'k' key" may very well be
- fatal in some news readers or it may automatically send a core
- dump to greywolf@unisoft.UUCP {well...maybe not now, but I can
- email you a patch to make it happen}]
