and then forgets to explain the '*' ...

The byte count for References was obtained by collecting the headers
from each article, and should be exact unless the script picked up some
stray tra* or .in* files in /usr/spool/news. The total online value
was determined by running a du -s against /usr/spool/news, which returned
80886 (1K) blocks. This number will be a bit on the high side, however
I consider both values to be more than accurate enough for the purposes
of the discussion.
