I can believe it, but my opinions with regard to Usenet news are a little dated. :-) I'm interested in carrying newsgroups that have people talking to other people, not groups full of multi-part binaries of music, warez, robo-posted job offers, and all of that noise. If you refuse (or discard) articles larger than 40K or so, and poison *.binaries, what's left is relatively high in human-produced content and each such feed consumes only 200 Kbs or so. -- -Chuck
