YES!  I have no intention of switching to C news before Rick Adams at
UUNET does (I figure that will be a fair indicator of when it's stable
enough not to cause me too many problems), and have no interest
whatsoever in watching the growth pains C news is going through...  When
other people whose judgement I respect have decided that C news is ready
for them to use, then I'll pick it up.

Whatever the problems of C news are, this newsgroup is for discussing
problems with _B_ news; I think that having discussions of B news drowned
out by discussions of C news does a disservice to users and administrators
of both.
