[net.news] <<abuse>> -> high net use, not converse

I think the operational logic is:    abuse   implies   high net usage
but not the converse.  Hence the need to interpret the stats intelligently,
and in conjunction with peer response by mail.  The stats point out a
possible problem; they don't act as judge and jury.  The automatic mail
messages should reflect this attitude (thus my previous stress on "polite
and informative" messages).

Beginning to feel that news stats CAUSE net traffic,
