 I have one, thank you; but it comes through a 19200 UUCP conncetion,
and can get woefully behind.

 The model of downloading frequently read news groups from an ISP
and injecting them into a local server (as a cache) for later reading 
seems perfectly reasonable to me...   The intent is not to "leach";
but rather to efficiently use my resources  (both hardware and wetware.)
