Cut me a break. It's a private news feed sent to a private system. I set
it up over 10 years ago when I had a dial up and 2g hard drive and it has
worked fine for me ever since.

I'm sure there are plenty of news servers out there (or out here) with much
longer retention and many more groups, but I've never had a need to change.

I probably should up the retention, but since I'm the only one who uses it,
and USENET is full of crap, I don't see much of a reason. By two days, almost
every posting on every group has befallen Godwin's Law or Mendelson's corollary
(change calling someone a NAZI in Godwin's to reference to the Wikipedia).
