00:12 🔗 frame_at flaushy: great news
09:33 🔗 ZoeB Well, my program no longer downloads duplicate newsgroup messages... although it still downloads all the headers to determine if they're duplicates or not in the first place... so that's half the bandwidth saved, at any rate
09:47 🔗 Smiley goodf job :)
09:50 🔗 ZoeB I just wish I'd made it back when I was a teenager and newsgroups were still in heavy use... but I guess back then I didn't have the hard drive space!
09:51 🔗 Smiley ah to be young
