I believe you've misunderstood Brad's remarks. I understood him to be
suggesting the deletion of the two most expensive *PER USER* newsgroups --
in other words, newgroups with large volume and few readers. Comp.sys.amiga
wouldn't fit this description, as it has a large readership. 

Must we have this constant bickering in news.*? I thought that's what
alt.flame is for! (One reason I don't get the alt.* groups here at umb! :-)
