Me too!  Where is it all coming from??   ncrcan is a full feed site, and last
week I had 15Meg on /usr/spool.  This morning, there was 100 blocks!  We blew
up.

I too had to do an emergency expire.

We can and are getting more disks, but that's not a solution.  Is this news
explosion a passing fad? or is it to be expected again?

Brian.
