- Which is fine, as far as it goes, but some days I don't read news.
- If you miss a couple of days, then all of a sudden you can have 1-2 hours
- worth of news to read, just in comp.os.linux, which is only one of the
- many newsgroups I read.
-
- Anyhow further discussion is of course pointless. I'm going to put a
- 5-month kill on "split" in comp.os.linux :-)
