Well, it's not 20K per day, and if that's all you're receiving, you'd best
have the news administrator down there look into where all your news is
going.  

Comp.binaries.mac is posted at an average rate of 84K per day, at which rate
it stays near the bottom of the top-10 list of newsgroups sorted by volume.
This volume, which is nearly 2.5MB per month, was negotiated in the early
days of the group with the backbone sites, who were considering dropping the
binary groups because of high volume and limited usefulness to many sites.
Even so, there are many sites today who refuse to pass comp.binaries.*.

Thus, I consider my job as moderator is more to see that things go out in a
somewhat uniform manner at a rate acceptable to the majority of the net.  I
don't consider it part of my duties to evaluate the usefulness of a particular
posting; comp.binaries.mac is not mac.software.that.roger.thinks.is.useful.
