It seems to me that one of the advantages of A or B news over notes
is that if something messes up, it's easier to recover because only
one UNIX file is likely to be affected, and all the UNIX tools for
manipulating files can be used to manipulate news.

Would someone please explain what the advantages of the notes method
of storing articles is?  Likewise, I'd like to know what the
advantage to the notes format of machine-to-machine transmission are.
