   I too have been following this debate.  Frankly I've got this to say: smaller
volume of news to uucp is a good thing.  As system administrator at this site I
get pretty scared when I see how much news comes in every day.  Using StuffIt
is an ideal way of decreasing volume, simply because no news is lost, and space
is saved.  We have to pay (like real $$$) for the phone lines, and I expect that
StuffIt will pay for itself in phone bills (since there is the cost both of
getting the news in the feed and from downloading the files to the mac).

  Sascha (above) described how StuffIt is great functionally.  The other side
of the coin is the saved space and time, and that is quite valuable.  I will be
happy to mail copies of StuffIt to anyone who needs one, and ask people who
post to please use StuffIt to compress the files.  It will save us time and
money.
