I seem to remember reading a quiet comment about inability to persuade
uunet to run C News in some group a very few months ago.  Now it has
quietly changed.

Then there was a single posted, rather vehement, complaint about
BITFTP originating too much traffic.  And it quietly stopped.

Amazing how effective the well reasoned complaints are.
