Any clue how much it is, if you include ONLY the big-8, and alt? (and I
would also include just a FEW local such as pa. and phl. etc.) it's just
insane sometimes, when one looks and see how many foreign hierarchies are
around, and are passed on. I really get annoyed when I try to manage my
groups, and groups from sweden, japan, and russia keep popping up as new
groups... although, I haven't had a good newsfeed in a LONG time, so it's
a moot point right now. :(
Hmm... a gig a day? I guess I finally know a true purpose for them
newfangled 120-gig-and-more drives. :P <sigh> I long for the days of long
retention.
