Sorry, I thought you were refering to a SA *other* then your own.  Simple
misunderstanding. 

Am I offended by this practice?  No, because when space is limited or funds
are being chewed up at a faster then manageble rate then the first items
that have to go are luxuries (games, net.flame, and maybe the whole netnews
system).  Such are the breaks of the game.

Remember, access to netnews is not a right, it is a privelage (and one that
shouldn't be taken lightly).
