That's... fascinating.  Just like Napster!  We could make a dot-com
based in this idea, go public, and buy a Ferrari!

I doubt that, somehow, in the years that have passed since i was
Best's news administrator, they have managed to get rid of the many
news peers i had set up.  I do wonder what is causing the current
propagation gaps in the spool, but i find it unlikely that an
insufficiency of peering is the cause.

THEY HAVEN'T MADE THE HAPPY PILL THAT CAN HANDLE ME.
