sure, you're right, but if you feed seven or more sites all.all you
don't have much options left, given the increasing traffic...
besides, i think everybody appreciates their work, and we're just
suggesting something. we can't force them. if they say 'we won't do it,
eat you heart out' (:-), well, i'll still use cnews and try to keep up with
the patches.

while i'm at it: thank for the great software Henry and Geoff!
