Hello Ken,

I had been thinking of suggesting the this newsgroup be trimmed
anyway. My newsreaders were taking a LOT of extra time because of all
those messages. One of my readers stores all the headers it downloads
and even if I don't download the message bodies, just storing all
those headers was taking up a lot of space.

I was about to suggest creating a new group for the older messages -
sort of an archive group. That way, I'd be able to look at the latest
images and comments without having to wade through so much bloat.
Perhaps Chris might like this idea if he is considering restoring some
of the older messages?

Later,
Glen Berry
