	I agree, new sucks. Our server dumps articles more than a week
old. Also once you write messages on news groups you are the target of
every SPAMMING scum bag on the planet, not to mention the day someone
cross posts something to the Tcl/C++ newsgroups... 

	Anyone who is having a problem with the volume obviously isn't
using the best (lisp based of course) mail/news reader on the planet -
GNUS. For all intensive purposes LispOS is just another newsgroup under
GNUS.
