This is a real problem for our new _wonderful_ home and one that I had
wished could partially be solved by keeping the UseNet *"Bit.Listserv.CoCo"*
NewsGroup going.

Now that our /Terrorist(s)/ has reappeared, I stopped my efforts.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
One class of CoCo people that we have excluded are the ones that
occasionally checked UseNet *"Bit.Listserv.CoCo"* NewsGroup with their
newsreader.

No signing up for a list, just look at B.L.CoCo. This is available on
Earthlink which has a *huge* number of users and other ISP's lists. (The
number was small when I took a quick informal poll a few weeks ago.)

They left no trace of their reading and may _want it that way_.

Am I correct that it is not possible to read the current messages leaving no
indication that they have? (Ignoring those who are forwarded the messages
from another member).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Perhaps we could start one way passing of messages to UseNet
*"Bit.Listserv.CoCo"* NewsGroup and _get help_ if problems appear.
(Including any efforts to remove it)

There should not be any problems, *we* are the persons that generated the
messages in the past.
