You want to watch it, be my guest. However, it's a *LOT* more
boring than a ticker tape of stock market prices-- and also a LOT
bigger. Usenet is real big, there are a lot of people canceling their
own posts, and there's a lot of spam getting nuked. As articles are
listed by ID and not groups, reversing things to find kills by
newsgroup is a major PITA without software to do just that.
