 I am the site administrator for unmvax. A while back our spool directory
filled up as a direct result of news. My boss (not knowing what else to do)
rm -rf'd the entire directory. We no longer receive news. However, I and
a few others on the machine feel it is worthwhile. So, I am in the
process of bringing it back up on our new Eagles with 70 MEG allocated
for /usr/spool (let's see you guys blow that up!) Now then, if it should
cause me undue troubles I can easily justify blowing it away again. So,
keep this in mind when you are talking about creating new news groups of
any form or purpose.

 Also, just for statisitics our phone bill last
month was $450.00. That was WITHOUT news. We will receive news from
a local call. But, what if it wasn't a local call? I would definately
ask our contact to restrict incoming groups.
