Assuming your figures are correct, then it would have been a classy
act for them to continue the providing of usenet access for those
old-timers who use it. Also assuming your figures are correct, the
small percentage of users who use it would be consuming negligible
bandwidth.

Doug, could you provide some figures on costs of continuing the Usenet
feed?
