Subject: Pine and 'Validating Newsgroups'

I've been experimenting with the pine newsreader and have found a 
rather troublesome feature that I hope can be turned off.  When I
try to follow up to a message, Pine spends ages in the 
'Validating Newsgroups' phase.  Can this be turned off?
I read news from an NNTP server over a modem, and this process is
just to time consuming.

Thanks!

Yup, select the news-post-without-validation feature in the
Setup/Config screen.
