Is Pilhuhn listening? Maybe he could either join us or show his material
to someone...

I myself do not see too much sense in multicast distribution of Netnews
when it comes to a "meshed" network, but the idea is great in a network
where you can eliminate letting the data travel over the same link
twice (or more often)...

I would be interested in experiences with news caches, the flaws,
forthcoming developments...
