   There are still sites that are running seven year old software that hasn't
   broken. eek....

That made me gulp, too.  How do they deal with moderated newsgroups?
(I suppose they don't, of course.)  What do they do without
net.general around, since it was special-cased with net.followup?  The
questions raised by 2.9 still being out there are somehow depressing.
