   Could you please limit it to newsgroups that I don't carry?  I am getting
   a bit tired of Jargon File du jour.  Is there anyone else that feels the
   same way?  Can I get an "Amen" brother?

No you can't.  Why should it be limited for just your convenience ?  Use a kill
file if you don't want to see it, but don't (try to) limit other's access...

Having got that off my back, I feel that alt.sources *could* be dropped, since
this actually isn't source.  What about just an informational message telling
alt.sources.d readers that the new version has been posted to a.f.c and m.m ?
