  And I'm peeved that you made OUR SITE pay to RE-transmit an article that
all the math people have ALREADY READ. Do you think they are stupid? 
Is it *really* necessary to quote 20 lines of old article to make a two-line
comment on it? I do not.
  You may be right in saying that having inews enforce a old/new text ratio
is the wrong way to go about it, but we have to do SOMETHING to stop the
excessive quoting of old articles. As always, the news software writers
(read: Rick Adams) are always open to suggestions on how to do it better;
without these, complaints are nothing more than yet more useless flames.
