This post made me curious - during the troubles I wanted to do something
about crossposts, but I couldn't work out how in Xnews, and anyhow it has
an excellent one-press killfiler.

So I never did filter cross-posting, but I haven't seen any more than the
usual rough trade for weeks, and I kind of like to watch that.

So is btinternet missing half the posts, I know the server is somewhat
flaky by all the references to posts I never saw, though sometimes they
turn up a few weeks later, my guess is that that BT retrained posties for
IT.

The rubbish is certainly being carried by BT's transit peers
(I have two peering connections with them). It might be that
BT clean it off their normal customer facing servers -- I've
never used those.

Theo other thing is what are you lot on?

I've been getting over 300 posts a day for ages?

uk.d-i-y with 30 day expirey currently has 10923 in my newspool
after cancels. That's 364 articles/day plus whatever is cancelled
(which I can't easily work out by newgroup, and would vary widely
from one newsserver to another in any case).
