Ok, I understand this, but the original question was whether it could be done smoothless. I still doubt this. > P.S. How many articles does rec.jobs.offered have on your news server? I assume you mean misc.jobs.offered: It currently has 13817 articles, the oldest (top one in Gnus) being dated July 10. That's a bit cheating, because the groups that are slaughtered at daimi are mainly alt and rec (sometimes articles live less than 24 hours...) (Starting Gnus on that group took one HELL of a time on this 2 processor/plenty of ram sparcstation 20, and this emacs currently eats 21 megs of ram because of it :-) ) -- Lars Balker Rasmussen
