It just depends if you want to count the alt.binaries.* as part of usenet or not. Most private servers ignore them and are basically handled by the large pay-only sites. If you want to count them, it's no contest. A group like alt.binaries.hdtv probably has more volume in one hour than the entire history of usenet, text-only. I just looked at alt.binaries.hdtv on giganews, one billion, 42 million posts in that one group alone. I mean it takes a few million to make one blu-ray, but really, a billion articles within the 2 year retention, or whatever they are claiming? It's pretty hard to count that as "usenet". -bruce bje@ripco.com
