Dear kev --

Is it possible you didn't notice that the upgrades were:

    a)  free to all
    b)  of interest to a very significant number of the community


Netnews is supported for community benefit.  The reason (sole reason,
I assure you) why the bean counters haven't turned off the faucet on
Usenet so far, is that each part of the community very demonstrably 
benefits from the expertise and largesse of the other members.

Each in their own time.  Surely yours will come, if it hasn't.
