I have found the current 2.14 log file to be vital to solving news problems.
I haven't seen what C news does, but from the descriptions in this message
chain I expect that I won't be using it for a while. Please reconsider... at
least make it an option. I want to be able to look in the log file and see:

	Each message.
	Where it came from.
	What newsgroups it was in.
	What the subject was.
	Whether it was duplicate.
	Where it was forwarded to.
	And any errors that occurred.
