Over the years we've gotten spoiled... with services with long retention times and large capacity servers.
I can remember 20 - 25 years ago when most providers were so limited in capacity that a person could actually force
their own posts off the server (with a flood - if they had the bandwidth). There were a lot of heated wars back then as
folks watched their posts disappear after only a day or so.
Unfortunately, those of use who do not have that problem forget (or are not aware of) that there a still a lot of
people who access Usenet who only get 7-10 days of retention and quite likely have already had the first of your post
(yesterday) drop off. :( Especially those who don't (or can't) pay the bucks and are forced to rely on the miserable
(albeit Free) amount of Usenet access and storage their providers offer.
It's probably why I try to keep my daily posts (scattered among a dozen groups) well below 4-5 gigs a day. I don't
"need" to but old habits die hard.
Just a thought.
