- The volume should go up, which may inherently impact the s/n ratio, I
- don't know. But the increased exposure would be worth it, and if
- there's too much irellevant posting, it only encourages people to
- write better news reader s/w. :-)

- Personally, I still want to keep news postings in the .uucp group. If
- a new group is created, .cnews is the wrong name. Besides other news
- s/w like the AmigaUUCP news s/w, is everyone forgetting about other
- news related s/w? Look at the postings in .uucp and .uucp.patches.
- Much of the traffic is about news *readers* and other utilities that
- are independent or at least separate not only from the news transport,
- but also from the news s/w being used.
