No they f***ing dont! Despite the fact that all you US people with
freebie local phone access can browse online... some of us download news
in batches (usually at 4am each day), in order to save on telephone
bills.... and it really f***s us off when we find that the download was
25 minutes longer than it should have been, because in amongst the 8000
other articles were 4 posts containing at total of 6 meg of bimaries.

It's particularly annoying because despite having set my news software
not to download articles larger than 50k... it still occasionally gets
it wrong!
