[net.news] An Idea Whose Time Has Come

		    An Idea Whose Time Has Come

When my site (the major feed for the Western New York area) and another
major site in a nearby geographical region decide to do something about
the news load within the same week, I can't help but think that we have
now passed the threshold of patience for too many site administrations.

	      Let Me Know If Your Site Does It Already

If you administer a Usenet site, take a minute and let me know whether
you implement (or are considering implementing) some kind of news
limitation, what you restrict, why (your primary motivation, phone
bills, etc?), when you implemented it, and how many downstream sites
your decision affects.  Subsets of the above will be welcomed.

I will summarize when the results are in.

It may be that some newsgroups are as good as removed, but that nobody
knows it yet.
