I have been following the big B-news/C-news discussion with only a
half-heart for some time now. I am still using B-news because I don't 
have enough time to go about changing the news software just because
something new is out. (I don't fix things which are working.) Now someone
raises the ugly spector that possibly all of the articles from my company
are falling on the floor as soon as they reach uunet, which now runs C-news.
Is it time to switch? Can anyone hear me? Is someone going to fix C-news?

Thanks,
Michael
