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 at unisoft.UUCP {well...maybe not now, but I can
email you a patch to make it happen}]
