Are there actually 15 to 20 people who meet your criterion of 10 or more news
feeds, and would actualy WANT to do this?  And how do you propose to
determine who has that many feeds? I am feeding 2 sites right now, but I just
got my NNTP server going very recently, so I expect that number to go up in
the near future, as I start feeding sites on campus here at KU.  Since we are
not a UUCP site (this is a VMS system, no UUCP available, yet) I am not in
the maps, and was told that it was not appropiate to have a map entry.
Suppose I get up to 10 feeds, and am crazy enough to want to be on your
board (cabal?), how do I convince you I am really feeding 10 sites?
