The increase in the number of posting like the above example, where a
person asks about something that has very recently been thoroughly
discussed, leads me to believe that the number of people posting News
is MUCH GREATER than the number of people reading News.
I think that the News signal to noise ratio is dropping well below 0 dB.
I believe that people should read a group at for a least a week before
posting an article.
