I've been following this newsgroup with a varying amount of attention
since I brought up B news 2.11 for the first time a few months ago.  I
am fairly happy with B news, though I've had some problems with it.
(And still seem to be having some problems with history files
disappearing.)  I wonder if I should switch to C news.

This may be a FAQ (I do not recall having seen it mentioned), but
I wonder what people's feelings are regarding the advantages/disadvantages
of B vs. C news.  I gather that C news is faster.  But since speed is
not a big issue with me (less than full feed on a capable system), I am
more interested in issues of 1) features, 2) reliabilty, and 3)
administration.

I imagine that there might be a lot of feedback on this.  If any
respondents care to mail their experiences/opinions to me, I will
summarize for the net.  If this is indeed a FAQ, mail your flames, and
I will see to it that they are properly disposed of ;-)
