So a few extra KB's won't make that much difference then.

Actually, I don't care, because I pay $US7.95 a month for 1GB of usenet
(about $A16 at the moment) and I will use it whichever way I want. I don't
have to allow for ISP's news servers, since my ISP has a crappy one anyway
(although I wonder if I will still *HAVE* to use GigaNews once the Telstra
ADSL techie finishes his work next Friday).
