You have no idea of what you are talking about. I spend 15+ hours a week
with comp.sources.misc, FTP archive admin, rkive modifications and then
additional time I may spend on FAQ updates. I don't get paid for this
time acting as a moderator and an FAQ maintainer. I do it because I feel
it serves a purpose of benefiting the community at large. I was the initiator
of the NetNews/CD service as a network test that succeeded but not to the
point I was ready to make it my full time job. Quit your whining and try to
contribute to solving the problem. Sheesh...
