After about 4 months on the net, it is quite obvious that the feed
of comp.* is being selectively edited: only articles that mention HP
are sent!

Now I understand that the HP offices are sending the net as a
convenience to their customers, but I would really like to see more.
Personally, I am not interested in everything, but just because HP
may not appear in the text, doesn't mean it is important to Unix
users or to HP customers in general.

I do not think the increased load would be that significant.  If you
are worried about phone bills, how about running compress first?  It
would save almost a factor of three in bytes sent.  Instead of executing
rnews with uuxqt, execute a shell script that does: compress -d | rnews

I would like to at least see ALL of:
comp.bugs.misc
comp.bugs.sys5

comp.mail.misc
comp.mail.uucp
