I see a potential problem with this newsgroup.  It already has two distinct
types of content:  human discussions on local news problems, and voluminous
automated status reports.  If more sites start posting the latter, it's
going to be increasingly tempting not to read the group because of the sheer
volume of clutter.  The status reports are potentially valuable for trouble-
shooting, but in the absence of trouble I am unlikely to carefully read and
ponder a dozen or more 50-line reports a day.  It may be worth considering
two separate newsgroups.
