Hi Billy,

 In addition to what has already been rightly said in this thread, I would recommend "!control,!control.*" instead of "!control*" because it otherwise excludes possible hierarchies like a controllers.* one.
 

great!
another question i have is the order.
why do * first and then denials afterwards?
why not put entries with ! or @ first and put the single * to the end?

while i'm asking myself i jumped into the source and found this:
https://github.com/InterNetNews/inn/blob/0ff2d3ae0912cf2098d20aaecc900bb5b9e472b2/innd/newsfeeds.c#L363
/*
**  Modify "subbed" according to the patterns in "patlist."
*/
static void
SITEsetlist(char **patlist, char *subbed, char *poison, bool *poisonEntry)
looks like cfg gets read at once and sets some bits somewhere else.
so i believe the order should not matter?
Thank you
