Only Per@erix, who has met me, realized that. Sorry for not being clear enough. The only serious thing in it might be the ban on multiple posting, I'd like, locally , to be able to have only a single copy accepted of a multiply posted article. Other groups would just have a link, not a copy, and a user who has already seen an article shouldn't have to "n" past it. Also, news we've already seen needn't pass our way a second time. My concern in this matter is disk space vs my desire to keep interesting articles around for long enough to come to calm and sensible decisions regarding their use or disposal. With prices what they are, this is really not so expensive, and provided you take an open attitude towards your employer, he oughtn't be overly concerned about the actual cost. This USENET has cost us roughly USD 200 / month so far, my latest bill says, and on top of that there's the time lost per employee. The latter is ( unless your totally undisciplined ) part recoverable, as far as it concerns getting useful information in ( such as bug fixes necessary ), and the rest, while not recoverable in the strictest sense, is on par with time lost on coffee breaks, heated debates on pseudo-subjects and such refreshing things.
