I've finally gotten C news up and running to the point where I can post.
I wish Henry and Geoff hadn't thought they were smarter than I was and
then proved it.  Those monolithic installation scripts are hard to figure
out when they fail.  Of course, the failures were always mine but still
more "makeability" and editable prototypes might make life easier if there
is ever a C2 news.

Given my track record on this stuff I may have missed it, but is there
a method for gatewaying an inbound mailing list into a news group in 
C news?  In B I used "recnews" to catch mail and toss it into a news
group.  We don't really need to turn postings into mail since the news
group is there to archive and provide a more convient interface.  It
might be simple to do but it is late enough that I can barely see
straight.

Speaking not being able to see straight.  Any ideas were nearly empty
batches might be generated?  We send out the occasional cunbatch script
wrapped around the magic that says 12 bit compressed and zero actual
data.
