     Sorry for the misplaced "still." What I meant was that ever since I
upgraded to the new patch of CNews, I've been getting these error messages
posted to me (News admin). I do/did not know when UUNET was upgraded to
Cnews, so I was surprised by the fact I was getting them.

   That is most probably what is happening.  I can understand why UUNET
might be more generous then my site's news policies.
