Actually, I was quite awake.  I got suspicious when I noticed that *every*
file in /usr/spool/news/unix-pc/* had multiple links.  Taking a look at the
headers revealed that they were all cross-posted to some other USENET group
which we *did* receive - thus the links.  We haven't seen any unix-pc.* only
traffic, hence the motivation for the cross-posting proposal.

Sorry to post this, everybody, but I wanted to make sure that my proposal
wasn't "invalidated".  (It's such a simple request, after all...)
