I bet that maybe one or two people use it regularly and a few more people
have used it once or twice like you. I would be happy to be proven wrong
on that point, that in fact many people use the news gateway.
But is something that benefits a very small number of people only slightly
worth causing problems for several hundred other people? It deserves an
informal cost/benefit analysis.
Frankly, I am tired of talking about this. I have expressed my opinion
that the list config should be tightened up in a couple different ways,
this being one of the ways. This one I don't think is as important as
turning off 'who'.
