Some of us have no idea how to "point" their "newsreader" (which is part of 
the ISP package) at anything other than the magic wherever that the ISP uses.

I have no interest in the newsgroup interface -- email works fine for me.
Dennis' reflector seems to be working great, so indeed maybe the Princeton 
list can be let go.  However, SOMEONE should monitor it just in case a newbie or 
a lost sheep posts to it, so we can gently steer them to Dennis' list.

It's been a while since I've actually opened (read) any spam to see whether 
it's via the Coco list.  But clearly the "Hi Coco, what's up?" variety are 
coming in that way.
