I have been a news reader for several years.  Within the last few days,
I installed remote rn and nntp's mini inews.  All is working well.

However, it occurs to me that I am now somewhat of a news administrator.
I say somewhat because I'm definately not a full blown news
administrator since I don't keep the news artilces on my system, nor 
do I have a full blown implementation of news.  I do have users who 
read the news on my machine (I have serveral serial ports connected
to a broadband terminal network) so I would presume I have at least some
of the responsibilities of a news administrator.  What are they?  Has 
anyone every written anything on the duties and responsibilities of
a news administrator?  I've never read the news admin groups but I'm sure
questions like this have been raised in the past.  Should I send in
an official map?  If so, where?  All the documentation I got with 
nntp and rn say nothing about this.

I appreciate your feedback.  I will summarize back to the net if it
appears appropriate or I get a lot mail responses.
