I suspect what we have here is winning and losing versions of "notes", with hp-pcd running the former - or, more accurately, winning and losing versions of the notes/news gateway. If this is the case, the winning version should be made available to one and all, and sites currently using the losing version encouraged to switch. Guy Harris {seismo,ihnp4,allegra}!rlgvax!guy
