Right. I guess what I wonder is, are the personalities / aliases unmaintained because posting-styles grew to accomplish their featureset, or because there are now mutually exclusive camps for this function, each happy with their code. 'part of gnus' is good, and I haven't yet seen something the others do which can't be accomplished in current posting styles. The other packages have a more pleasant way of arranging groups of style features, but that doesn't really yank my chain. -- - Allen S. Rout
