Does anyone here realize that all your complaints about the Jargon file is using more bandwidth than the file itself did? If you don't want to see it, put "/jargon/:j in your KILL file. If you run a site, then I say "tough luck". When you accept a newsgroup (or any outside connections) into your system, you should expect huge amounts of data to be going through your site. If you can't afford/handle it, you should reconsider your having a newsfeed. Or at least receiving every group. When you attach yorself to a Net, you should know that you're going to pay for it. Don't complain when the bills come due. Just my $2e-02 worth. -- David Charlap "Invention is the mother of necessity" cd5340@mars.njit.edu "Necessity is a mother" Operators are standing by "mother!" - Daffy Duck

No we don't, because it's FALSE! In the past week, there have been 64k bytes of discussion about the Jargon File, pro and con -- and 950k bytes (!) of Jargon file itself, original and patches. Next case.
