Makes sense, however, I don't see the same thing from any of the other 
news servers I frequent. Maybe they don't time-out, or their time-out 
values are longer than I'm on the computer. I don't think that it is a 
bug in ZoneAlarm. It doesn't try to judge the validity of any accesses; 
it's up to me to decide what access I want to allow. I'll trust 
news.povray.org and put it on ZoneAlarm's trusted list.

Thanks for the reply.
