I have to agree with this, especially in view of the  recent  talk  of
cutting the costs of net news.  Our Unix Administration group, not too
long ago, pointed out two Eastern sites to each other that were  about
25  miles  or  so  apart and were both polling California for news and
mail.  Maybe someone should take a good look at the distribution paths
of  net  news and recommend a reorganization to the appropriate system
administrators.
