Re: Newsgroups
Don't know about extra culls, but the server performance (the NEW severs?) is a bad as it ever was, if not worse.

Performance on headers is quite good, but on bodies (and not big binaries, but text as well) is truly MISERABLE, if it doesn't bomb out, it'll do 7-10 and then freeze up for ages - it MIGHT move on when it feels like it, or it's just as likely to drop out.


What was the point of the newsgroups trial?
Perhaps thet were "nursing" the trial server, as it was reasonably ok during the period, but although use of it was extended beyond the trial period, it was getting flaky then - while the old server pool was actually having a pretty good run.
