Unfortunately, that cannot be. We act as a distribution center for news in
Rhode Island. Although... I do trim down the number of newsgroups on a
regular basis because of forged newsgroups, etc., so things get 'junk'ed,
which has a 1 day expiration.

what it looks like we'll have to do is actually patch the news software,
both RN and Bnews, to allow posting articles to multiple filesystems.
Either that, or rewrite the link() function so that it copies files instead
of creating links to them.
