It's also growning rapidly. This seems to slow down B news, at least on my machine. Can anyone running A news tell if it's slowing down their sessions reading news? Perhaps this is a hot topic for USENIX. Am I alone or are there others out there that think perhaps there should be a maximum number of newsgroups - perhaps to create one you have to can another.
