I was wondering  about feed  etiquette.   I was  under the impression
that each site was duty bound to feed any other  site if  such a feed
did not cost the providing site anything.  

For example, anyone who wants a feed from us (and will  call or wants
it over DECNET) can get it.  I have heard  of sites  sharing a DECNET
refusing  to  provide news  to their  companion nodes  on the DECNET.
This seems unUSENETesque.

What is the common convention on feeds?
