A fifth "flavour" which has been raised in the backbone mailing
list is: there are portions of the net which have no capacity 
problems at all; they can handle many times the amount of news
that is passing thru them.  The junker could cause disemboweled
copies of articles to be inserted at those fortunate sites.  This
is one of the reasons why some people don't want the junker run
at any site.

You were notified of this objection, Jamie, in a letter from the
backbone.  It also contained other valid objections which you 
haven't mentioned, as well as congratulations for your wanting 
to help with the situation.

By the way, anyone who installs the junker, please let me know,
okay? :-)
